Note: Marlys' parents (and brother Vincent) are buried in Charles Mix county in South Dakota. An attempt was intended to link this memorial to the parents, but it appears that two separate contributors have created separate memorials for them, but in two different (or at least different named) cemeteries in that county. Both have headstone photos, so it appears that one contributor knows of the cemetery by one name, and the other contributor knows of the other cemetery by another name.

Due to the multiple memorials, no attempt is being made at this time to directly link Marlys to her parent's memorials on FindAGrave.
