I am looking for an obit or death notice for Aurora Holland Twiford, may be listed as Holland Twiford since Holland was her preferred name. According to SSDI information, death was November 1970 in Portsmouth, Virginia. No day was listed on the SSDI so not sure when in November she died. I don't live near Virginia or I would travel to Portsmouth and search newspaper records.

I have searched several online newspaper archives and found nothing. I also haven't found anything on any of the graving websites. I tried Aurora, Holland, A., and H. Twiford in my searches. I believe she may be buried in Dare or Pasquotank County in North Carolina, but also searched Virginia and U.S.

The obit could have mentioned her daughter, Allene (Twiford) Smith (died 2001). Have heard a rumor of a living granddaughter, but Allene was an only child and her only known child was my father who died in 1977.

This is your Holland, correct?

And here is Allene's death info (if you do not have it)

Was Twiford Hollan's maiden name?  Because here is Holland and Allene in census 1920 and Holland is single with her daughter, but no hubby.
