PLEASE change the following info : 4 Jan 2012 in Cecil County Maryland, is the date of her death and place of death. Her place of interment (Arlington National Cemetery), is correct , and the day of that is 06/22/2012. I am her grand niece and was her primary hospice caregiver in my home in her last year of life under VA, assistance.
