[Opinions] family names from a recent obit
On July 31, my great-grandmother passed away at age 96. There were some names in her obituary I thought others might find interesting!Rita Mary/Marie (I've seen both used) was born in 1917.
Her parents were Jeanne "Jenny" and Frank, but she was raised by Frank's parents Tharcille and Adolphus. She had a sister Lucienne "Lu" and a half-sister Therese "Tressie".
She married Pierre, and his siblings were/are Etienne, Antoinette "Toni", Gabrielle "Gibby", Rose, and Jean "Johnny".
Rita and Pierre had children Shirley, Cecile, Doreen, Robert and Marilyn Rose.I used to think my family names were boring, but I'm starting to warm up to them.
