By rights her current name should be Fitzgerald because that was how she was buried. Need more info.

NOTE: Excerpt from obituary of Dorothy's brother Raymond Klapperich, Dorothy's surname is Fitzgerald: "...Survivors include his wife; three daughters, Ruth (Mrs. Ed) Arons and Kelly Klapperich, both of Austin, and Nancy (Mrs. Robert) Herron of Le Sueur, Minn.; three sons, James, William and Thomas, all of Austin; six grandchildren; and a sister, Dorothy Fitzgerald of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
