I think she was a great aunt of mine ...
BTW, the neighbor lady made one heck of scary witch at Halloween. Scared the kids half .. well you know. Long black hair, big nose made bigger by an attachment, and green skin paint. If I didn't kw it was her, I'd have been scared too. Her husband was of Russian Jewish stock who had come to the US through Galveston rather than New York. Not your typical eastern US Russian Jews. He was armed to, with multiple weapons, and big TimberShepard, nice dog, but the bad guys wouldn't know that, and she was defensive of her people, she just didn't have an offensive bone in her body.
