I can usually find the burial site, but I've searched Ancestry.com, FindaGrave, both with the dates of birth and death to no avail.  Even searching for just her name both married and maiden yeilded no results.  Broadening the search to just the last name for this death date, and to just the first and last name with no dates was unsuccessful.  Putting just the last name of Schnetzer gave me three results, none of them any member of this family.

Finally, on BillionGraves.com, after inputting just the last name Schnetzer, I got many results.  I scrolled through three pages worth, with no relevant results.  The search on Ancestry is fruitless.  Nobody has any record of burial.  I've put out a question on the Wenkel Family group on Facebook, and I was told I should contact her son Norman's family.  I'll update when I get new information.  If I don't, then that itself is part of the story.

I've searched Legacy Obituaries with no results.

US Social Security Death Index has a different date of death than what I originally have.  Wonder where I got that information from?  The only information on her death is from the SSDI.
