Vaudine Louise Smith was the daughter of Vernon Louis Smith. Don’t you love it when daughters are named after their daddies? (my mom's name was Frankie!)
In 1950, Vaudine married Johnny Zlomke. Johnny was a twin, his brother was Frederick E Zlomke. They were two of many Grandchildren in the Wilhelm Frederick Zlomke family.
Wilhelm and his wife Beulah Mae Shook are buried in Crown Hill, but only a few of their children are. Johnny and his wife Vaudine are not.
Vaudine passed away January the 4th at the age of 92 yrs old.
We love finding descendants of Crown Hill. Please always share with us if you come across these jewels in the crown of Crown Hill.
