(This obituary says nearly verbatim to the
local obituary above, thus I won't transcribe this one) 
Death Certificate:
SOURCE: familysearch.org
Note that her death certificate states she suffered with cancer for 2 years while the obituaries state it was 3 years.  Also the familysearch source link details indicate the wrong birth year (1912) as viewing the original clearly indicates in type that her birth was in 1902.  (It's always good to check the original source...)
