My sister died 3 Jan 1993 in a Jean casino/hotelroom. I would like to obtain a death cert
and/or discover the exact circumstances of her death; she was only 44 yrs old and in good
health.
What complicates the matter is that I am somewhat unsure of her last name at time of
death, she had multiple marriages and we had lost contact approx 3 yrs earlier. Today I
rec'd info from a distant cousin regarding her funeral, indicating what possibly may
have been her legal name at the time:
In Loving Memory of Jeanette Allen
born: Sept. 9,1948 in Mo.
passed away: Jan. 3, 1993 in JEAN, NEVADA
services: Fri. @ 2:00pm, Jan. 8, 1993
Hillside Memorial Park, Redlands, California
officiating: Rev. James Dale
interment: Hillside Memorial Park, Redlands, Calif.
directors: Cortner Chapel
Now her name at birth was:
Anita Jeanette McCoy
and her married names (to my knowledge) were: Smiley, Patterson, and Catron. Today's
revelation adds Allen; there might have been another between Catron and Allen - guys were
crazy about her and she was always getting (re)married.
This is a very serious issue for me, and I have tried searching her name(s) every way from
Sunday with zero returns. Please assist or advise me if you can; the casinos won't
comment and I don't know where else to turn. Without knowing her proper name, the
Clark County Vital Records Dept can't (or won't) do an advanced search. Thank you.
