We still need to find Lily Dietz!
Hugh Adams on the Texas forum was able to obtain all kinds of information for us as the Dietz family lives in Texas.(Great job Hugh!)But we still have nothing on Lily Dietz since her Divorce from Donald Bell.Hugh did get us the name of Lily's 1/2 sister, and we called her.Lily's half sister Sharon remembers hearing a rumor in the family that Lily had died at 35 years old, and so did her sister Carlin Dietz.But now she is saying it was just a rumor and that her ½ sister did not keep in touch with her at all.So Lily COULD still be alive.Any help finding her would be fantastic.
From Hugh, lily's full Birth name was Lily Mae Dietz she was born on July 3, 1931 in San Antonio TX. She would be 77 now if alive.Her father's name was Roy Askey Dietz, her mother was Betty Sue Kelly.Lily married my wife’s father, Donald L Bell in the state of Louisiana on April 15, 1955.That is all the firm information we have about Lily’s current status.
Some NEW information popped out of my wife’s head and that is this:Lily had been previously married to a Dell Ray Thomas, and Lily and Dell Thomas had a child named “Vicky (or Vickie) Thomas!So if someone can find any information on Dell Ray Thomas, or Vicky Thomas that could lead us to Lily Dietz – Thomas –Bell - ?
Since Lily was living in Louisiana in 1955, and is believed to have returned their after the divorce, there is a chance she and “Vicky” might still be around there?
“Vicky” was much older then my Wife.My wife’s memories of Vicky are of her being baby sat by Vicky and "Vicky had some boys over, who smoked and drank”..My wife thinks Vick must have been around 13 through 16 years old around then (we hope).My wife was born in 8/6/58, (Lily was 27 at the time of her birth), and my wife said she was 4 or 5 when the above happened.So I would say Vicky must have been born around 1944 to 1951?We have contacted the other 2 living distant relatives but they do not really know anything about Lily other than they say “she was a wild one and left, and we never heard from her again”.
I wish I knew more.Like what her SSN was, that would make it much easier.We do not know if she remarried after her divorce from Donald.I will re-post this on the Texas site also.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
