There is a user-submitted comment appended to this certificate on Ancesty.com that says “The death certificate lists his mother's name as Violet Stacy. It would appear that Violet was actually his grandmother's name. Perhaps his mother went by Violet also, but there is nothing to indicate so. Her name appears to have been Sylvia or Silva depending on the record.”
