Hello Rebecca,
I have had a search in the archives of the South Wales Echo and the Western Mail, which are the two main publications in South Wales. I have come across the story but can find no trace of any obituary in these publications. I will check with the local cemeteries just in case nothing was printed locally. I have images of the story if you want them, so if you can let me know your email address i will forward them if you wish.
Best Wishes,
Paul Durkee.
