I found this woman's marker in 2015 while crawling the cemetery and initially assumed she was another woman in a different plot location whose name appeared on the Forest Lawn website (this woman's name and plot location did not, and still does not appear on their website in 2023). I fairly quickly realized I had made a mistake after I found the other woman's marker in 2023 and set about fixing the problem.

If I had been forced to rely on my less than perfect memory and on find a grave to sort this out, I would have been up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately, one of the things within the database I track is the file names of marker images I have posted online and attached to people records. Using that information I was able to construct a logical map of the plot locations around this woman's space and determine which lot and space she is actually in. I will actually verify that information at some point in the future just because I'm compulsive, but I'm more than 99% certain the current plot location as listed is correct (it doesn't hurt any that she is buried right next to one of her family members, which is a nice confirmation of the information).

Anyway, that's why her record was created this year, but the date on her posted photo shows 2017, it predates her record because I had assumed the marker was for the other woman who was already in the database.

After adding her to the database I sent a relatively brief note to the contributor on find a grave who took over maintaining her memorial and sent an edit changing the plot location. The contributor either didn't pay any attention and rubber stamped my edit, or looked at my explanation and decided it sounded like I knew what I was talking about and accepted the edit. I have no idea which it was, there is so much unsourced garbage on find a grave it's not pretty, but I do try and keep stuff I have entered accurate whenever possible.

I had initially thought there might be some connection between the two women (daughter and mother in law, perhaps?) but upon further research have decided there is no close family connection between them, they just happen to share the same names and both be buried in Sunrise Slope at Forest Lawn.
