From what I can reconstruct:
Irene Cecilia Farias, born May 2, 1926, was daughter of John Farias Sr. and Marie G. Mederious. She first married an O’Kelley, probably 1944, followed shortly by a second marriage to a Smith in 1945. In 1959 she married for the third time, to one Robert G. McGinnis (1936-2014 USAF, Korea). She died in San Diego County, California, and is buried in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.
But those boys are watching you. Just act natural.
