They had three children together.

She passed away on 20 Oct 1980 in Claremore, Rogers County, Oklahoma, United States, and buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Claremore, Oklahoma, in plot AA.-6.-L82-3W.[4]
Note: This amount of shared DNA seems abnormally low for the relationship. Need to possibly look for NPE along the relationship path to see if this would be some type of Half relationship. Probably need triangulation to help.
