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.
