Paul S Hepworth obit, giving Deborah's married name

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/lohud/obituary.aspx?n=paul-s-hepworth&pid=148804400

Unless someone can find a free entry for her or her husband to give a residential address, it might be worth contacting the funeral directors. Of course, Deborah may have moved since 2000

The named son in law, living Wappinger Falls is easy to find on Facebook...assuming it's him :-)

No harm in messaging him - even if he isn't Deborah's husband, he might be related. The only trouble I have is that their son isn't a 'friend'.

DET, just checked , pretty sure it is the right one as there is sadly an obit for Russell's brother here which ties in with photos and names connected on FB
