"Things are more like today than they have ever been before" (Ford, 2018).  

1975 age 44

Death of mother Alvena Marie Wenkel, 30 October 1975, Asbury, Warren, New Jersey.  I presume she's buried near there, probably in the same cemetery as her son, but I haven't found proof yet.  In fact, doing a search on Find A Grave, and on Billion Graves as well as on Google Search results in nothing.  I tried searching Washington Cemetery where her son Norman Schnetzer is actually buried, crickets.  I went onto Billion Graves to find the cemetery itself, found Cemetery Hill Road, and Schnetzer Lane, and Schnetzer Farms, but no real indication for Washington Cemetery.  So, I've drawn a blank here.  If you have any information or photos of her burial site, send me a note to the right.
