Holly,
I looked on the on-line obit index on the LaPorte County Site and didn't see
her. I don't know how complete the index is though. If you want to give it a
try go ahead! I do obit lookup's here in MI.. Genessee County (Flint), if you
need anything. Thanks for responding about Holy Family Hospital. They wrote it
like everyone would just know where it was. My dad thought it was in LaPorte
but he was a year old when she died.
Thanks
Dawn

Yes there was a Holy Family Hospital in LaPorte, IN. A lot of Starke Co
news was published in the LaPorte Paper too. Do you want me to look up here
obit in the LaPorte Paper too?
