[Sca-cooks] Two obituaries for Liaden--Diana Leigh McLaren Skaggs

[Sharon Gordon]

(Note that obituaries were published 2+ months after her death and in the
area where she lived before moving to Texas.  I have been unable to find a
San Antonio obituary for her.  People with more knowledge of the major San
Antonio newspapers may want to try.  Given events under which she moved to
Texas, someone may have put the obituary in the paper under a different
surname, so you may want to search under all four names listed and be alert
to some other surname.)
