What happened to Joan D. Tigerstand? http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/21591943/person/1191785334

In Jan 1949, she married a well known WWII soldier named Jack Grunden, who was shot by a Russian guard as Jack walked by the Grand Hotel in Vienna. See this video interview with Jack while he was in the Vienna Hosp. http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=80156

They had only been married for six months before they separated and she filed for divorce. Before the divorce was final, Jack was paralized in an auto accident. Joan tried to reconcile with Jack, but he wouldn't accept her back. Accorcing to the newpaper articles, he didn't want her "married to a cripple."

I have attached several of these heartrending articles to both Joan and Jack's ancestry profile page.

Their divorce was final in Dec 1949.

Thanks

Any information about her life would be appriciated.
