Marie,
We care about you. You have not been forgotten.

Apparently Marie was found and buried in October 1987 in Dixon CA. I couldn’t find an obituary, only the grave site listed with this marker. It shows the same birthdate.

Maybe a marker was placed without her body being found? But since the marker says Oct. 1987, not August when she went missing, would indicate that if there was no body found there was reason to think she died in October.

She's still listed as missing here:

Yes, I wondered if they would put up a fairly expensive gravestone in a cemetery without a body. But the October 1987 gave me the impression that her body was found sometime during that month, so it was picked as the month she died. Otherwise, why say October?

I noticed that too. She’s still listed as missing on all sites I could find. I’ve emailed the sheriff the link to the headstone and asked if he knows about it.
