Mary Ann Elizabeth DeCourcy
Mrs. DeCourcy was flying to meet her husband Joseph, who was employed by the Drackett Co., and had recently been transferred to St. Louis from Cincinnati. They were expecting to sign the closing on their new house in St. Louis that week.
The couple had two small children, Page and Christie, who were
supposed to have accompanied Mrs. DeCourcey on
the flight. She had decided at the last minute it would be better
for them to stay with their grandparents in Cincinnati
until the paperwork on the house was finalized.
Mary Ann's name is on the grave marker for her family at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Cincinnati, even though her remains were never identified.
