~*~

Her father Clarence Leonard Heckman passed away in a car crash in 1956. She is listed as one of 11 children. Another sister, an unnamed stillborn (listed as "Baby Girl" in her obituary), died less than 24 hours after birth. She had been listed as having 12 siblings. Mary Jane also died in 1955, as evidenced by her death certificate. Catherine doesn't seem to have an obituary or death certificate with her name on it. Sarah Heckman's middle name was Margaret. Sarah later married a man with the last name Dunlop. Diane then gained more siblings, Lisa and Clayton (who was born around 1965).
