About Ellen Eckert

I, Vicky Krumm Duke, am the great-granddaughter of Ellen B Eckert Fincher. Just a correction she was Fincher until 1965 when she married William Modgling- she then divorced him in 1969. As I have been researching I have found many people at Greenwood who are related in some form or fashion. My mother was Billie Jean Fincher Johnson.Thank you so much for the added information on this cemetary!
