why did they include her murderer in her obit

 

[Gemmie]

why did they include her murderer in her obit

I too wondered that. Could it be a different person with the same name? I see a lot of the same names in family trees, obits, etc.

I too wondered that. Could it be a different person with the same name? I see a lot of the same names in family trees, obits, etc.

But he IS her nephew - from what I understand.

But he IS her nephew - from what I understand.

I thought he is/was her brother.

I thought he is/was her brother.

In the obituary posted #34 - it says:

Promis is survived by her parents Dan and Melinda Lathrop; siblings: Devin Lathrop, Julia Austin-Lathrop, Johnathan Lathrop, and Dayveon Lathrop; nephew, Jordan Lathrop; maternal grandmother Marlene Sloniker; paternal grandparents, John and Caroline Lathrop; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives and friends. She is also survived by her birth mother, Mary Ann Glenmore; birth father, Carlton Glenmore; and birth maternal grandmother, Joanne Olin. S

He is her brother and listed as her brother in the obit. The nephew is Jordan Lathrop. I think it got confused because of all the semi-colons.
