Sources

  1. The forum reports Delia’s May 23 death at age 68 and reproduces a funeral-home obituary with her Beaver Island birth, family ties, May 26 service in Fremont, May 29 Holy Cross service, and island interment. The reproduced obituary is stronger than the initial community notice but remains a forum-held copy; the Beacon is the held newspaper corroboration.

  2. A family notice announced May 28 visiting hours and a 7:30 p.m. rosary at Bud and Colleen Martin’s house. This is a contemporaneous family schedule notice, not a funeral or cemetery register.
