Marye Juanita Sluyter-Lord 1929-2005

Sent out a couple inquiries today to Florida attempting to obtain more info on Marye Juanita Sluyter-LORD.  Mary is the third-great granddaughter of William Lane Morford Sr. and her parents are John Bennett Sluyter and Juanita Tubbs.  Keeping my fingers crossed for a possible obit or other info.

Clues I have been able to uncover about her:

1.  Marye is the correct spelling of her first name.  A bit unusual.

2.  She was born on July 10, 1921 in Oakland County, Michigan.

3.  Evidently she married a man with the surname LORD.  I've been unable to determine the husbands first name or any history on him or their marriage.

4. Her date of death appears to be August 5, 2005 in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida.  She appears to have been a resident of a nearby suburb called Oakland Park.

5.  She spent several years before she moved to Florida as a resident of Traverse City, Michigan. 

6.  Marye evidently owned a a piece of property in Oakland Park, that she donated to the cities local historical society, and they use the building now as a historical museum.  Here is a link to Historicial Societies Website about the building and its history.
