It appears that her actual name is Mary Jean Jensen Belland. She was 26-years-old at the time of her death. I find it weird that her family held a funeral and internment for her when Mary was supposedly a Jane Doe. She was married and had a daughter.

RIP Mary (September 1, 1950- July 20, 1977)

That is weird. I'm glad she has her name back.

No date on the obit clip. However, it certainly is not recent! The font/typeset appears to be from around the time she died.

What on earth! She was declared dead prior to 2007.

I wonder that's really her?
Because this is weird if it is... She was found on July 20, 1977.

I wonder if it is someone with the same name?

I don't have a paid subscription, so I can only do screenshots of partial articles etc.

What you see is what you get..sigh..

But I can search.
I searched using the name in the obituary and found the same obituary.

Someone who has a paid subscription can do a full clip of the obituary with date published. It was published on July 21, 1977

There also appears to be some sort of official notice on August 3rd. Was there a burial or what?

I just noticed the obituary has visitation on Thursday 4 - 9 pm WTF?
Also internment on Friday.


I wish I could access the full obituary. Whoever did the clip, did not clip the full obituary.

Thank you. I don't see a death date.


If they didn't have a body, how did they do all of this? Visitation? Interment?

Usually in cases like this, they just have a memorial service. And it's usually a few weeks later. N

I can't find her in the cemetery however...
