Update: Mabel Elsie Ditzenberger Young (1908-2010)

In the biography I wrote for Lillian Blanche Byrum, I briefly speculated on the fate of her six children.  At that time, I knew that five of the six had passed away, but I did not know about Mabel Elsie, whom I thought was the source of information in a post I discovered from 2002, so I presumed her living at that time.  Nor did I know as I wrote in November 2010 that she had passed away only a month earlier in October 2010.

The SS death index provides a date and place of death of 7 Oct 2010, Scottsdale, AZ.  I also received the following comment at my family tree,

Mabel is my (...relative...). She died October 7, 2010, in Phoenix, Az., at the age of 101. She asked that her body be donated to science. The ashes will be buried at the So. Whitley Cemetery, in So. Whitley, Indiana, along side her husband Harold. 

There is a shared headstone pictured at the find-a-grave memorial for Mabel and her husband, Harold V. Young.

RIP
