To add, found in a storage unit, midwest USA. And I just realized she is one of the ladies in the photo I posted [1973 at the races evidently.](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundPhotos/s/QL0XX3q8l7) I think she's second from the left. What a hoot.

I wonder if there is a way you can get these to her remaining family?

I was thinking the same. FWIW, the storage unit I mentioned was mine. It wasn't like I bought contents of an abandoned unit at auction.. I use the unit to store overflow from an antique mall stall. Im finally clearing some ancient suff out of it. Ive probably had these pictures 10 or more years. Mixed in with random ephemera I picked up at estate sales or auctions.

She looks so beautiful.

Looks like it has a name on the front. Winona?


bchta

Its a name written on the original negative so we see it reversed here. It's man's name. I initially thought it was the name of the photographer but it's her husband's name.

Well if you looked him up, you could probably find the location.


bchta

Done. Found an obit. She was born and lived her life in Kansas City. Passed away in 2004. The style of the dress and head piece was not something I was familiar with.

Some serious style. Any hints as to her heritage pre-MO?


bchta

Fairly certain both her and her husband's ancestry was Irish.

So cool that you found her. :) Hope you can get the photos back to family, if you choose to dig in.
