I used to live right there. I googled her name because the name is rare. The person with that name is mentioned as the new grandparent of a baby and shows her maiden name and husband's name. There are links to the children on Facebook and I emailed the NamUs contact person

What can you find?

Her NamUs page has been removed.

I believe I found her relatives

I think you contacting the NamUs contact has led to her profile being removed. Great work!

Great to hear. I stumbled upon this unclaimed lady and started checking records. She was fairly involved in a community and with her family so I do not understand why nobody missed and claimed her until now - but ive heard horrible stories about people passing in hospitals and hospitals either fail to contact the family or charge them a ridiculously high fee to have the body released.

Happy she was claimed. Since she was Jewish (maiden name is Jewish as well as married name and her records), there are some options to explore in case she would not have been claimed - several Jewish organizations help to claim and bury Jewish bodies.

But happy she can rest in peace now.
