I should have said: in my dad's obit, his wife and her family did mention my mom and stated when they were divorced. Only thing is, they got the date wrong! So, going by their dates, my dad's second marriage would be invalid as he was still married to my mom until a year later. Did I tell them? No, his wife was in real sorrow and getting elderly so I figured it served no purpose. I have the correct dates in my research archives.
