(Oklahoma, U.S., Naturalization Records, 1889-1991)
Brigitta married Billy Joe LeGrand (army veteran) March 15, 1953 in Del City, OK according to the petition for naturalization. Brigitta received her citizenship May 1, 1961. Brigitta’s husband, sister in law and brother in law are listed on the petition as witnesses.
Billy Joe LeGrand was married again Oct 15, 1956 while still being married to Brigitta.
Brigitta was in New Orleans, LA by 1992. That is the earliest proof I found of her coming to Louisiana.
Brigitta then married Carlos Angel Tinoco Sr.. Carlos is also linked to the address 821 Crest Dr Apt 81 in Kenner, LA. When looking at this address on google maps it appears to be a large concrete slab.

Hurricane Katrina occurred August 2005 and most likely wiped away any residence that previously stood.
Brigitta’s next residence was 121 Pine Dr in Westwego, LA. (Dec 2005 until her death)
(U.S., Public Records Index, 1950-1993, Volume 2)
I have not found any records of divorce from Billy Joe.
I have not found any records of her having biological children.
