Question

Question: she must have been married at some point, since "Curtis" was not her birth name and she has a daughter. The article needs to say something about the presumed Mr. Curtis, otherwise the name change is a mystery. --MelanieN (talk) 01:10, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MelanieN: added mention via this source. MWright96 (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Really? All I see at that source is Greek food. Anyhow, I'm going to do some rewriting in that last paragraph; that kind of wording ("survived by") is used for obituaries, not Wikipedia articles. And we don't usually mention the memorial services, although we do include the information about where she is buried if you know that. --MelanieN (talk) 14:09, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. You listed the husband's name as Ricard Curtis; is that correct, or was it Richard? --MelanieN (talk) 14:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was Richard, the former was a typo. MWright96 (talk) 14:19, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I fixed it. --MelanieN (talk) 15:27, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
