How are you related to Roxie Ann?

I remember when I was about 13, attending Hallie's funeral in Rock Springs. (I'm now 58.)
My grandmother, Carrie Mae, (b 8/2/1907) was very close to Bessie (married to Albert Becker) and Eldora. They would come to visit from Rock Springs when my husband, children and I would visit my grandparents. It's great to find a connection.

I am not related and sorry that I could not find out what Frances' maiden name was, mother of Roxie Ann.
