| Notes |
- She is the sister of “The late Robert J. Pitard" in her obituary.
On 3 Sept. 1942, Angela Dolores Leonarda Mayorga was naturalized in Louisiana as a U.S. Citizen. In 1944, a newspaper story that names a set of high school girls lists her at "Leonarda Mayorga, Costa Rica." This would imply, then, that she was born outside of the U.S. between about 1926 and 1931. Her 2004 obituary, however, gives her age as 87 (b. about. 1917), which seems much too old; I'd guess that this is an error for 77.
She didn't have a social security number. [1, 2]
