My ggrandmother was Arlene Orilia (Bigelow) Tyler - I have been seeking to re-create my mother's genealogy records that were destroyed
but am having no luck. This is a great site, anyway

Thank you so much for your response. That is the correct person, my ggrandmother.Genealogy was my mother's passion but all her records were destroyed & I am attempting to recreate them with very little to go on except some old photos & childhood memories. Again, thank you, Dee

Orlena (on the right) with her (former) daughter-in-law, Kathryn Dunham Orlena is laid to rest in the same grave #3 as Almond, however she is unmarked.
Rose Hills Memorial Park; Whittier, Los Angeles County, CA; She was cremated at Forest Lawn Crematory, Cypress, CA, but it appears her ashes may be at Rose Hills
