Why would the article headline refer to the sister of Madeline and Charles as NC WOMAN?>>>>>>

Apparently the obituary in question was published in NC, where she had passed away.My guess is that she and her husband had retired there, NC is one of thiose states that has a large retirement community because of its moderate climate.

In 1980, she accepted the position of Research Professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She remained there until her retirement in 1990.

There's no suggestion of a husband in this obit, whether current, deceased, or ex-.

My guess is that she and her husband had retired there...

She was never married. She worked at UNC for ten years, before she retired in 1990.

I meant NC WOMAN as against Margaret Payne, sister of Madelyn Dunham, grandmother of the President of the United States of America...

That headline and brief article reads as if it's doubtful she was a relative.

The obituary I posted shows she had a significant lady-friend who is still living.

Margaret A. Payne is survived by her brother Charles T. Payne and wife Melanie; her brother Jon V. Payne and wife Susan and friend Margery Duffey.
