I noticed as I was typing this up it says there were four children born to this union but there is four listed as surviving her with one more preceding her in death.

I noticed it listed Clara Flock as a survivor.  Clara was a daughter-in-law, as she was the wife of Ron Flock.  Ron was a son of Luluvon's.  Glad to see you posting, DeeGee!!!

Luluvon's brother, Paul Speer, was Don's uncle by marriage.

I not familiar with all of her family but I know her dad was married to my grandmother.  So I guess that is why I have the saved obit.
