He is buried at Arlington:

This indicates he was born in North Carolina. They "might" have been married for a short period of time. He was in the Navy, which indicates a possible duty station at San Diego.

The date of her mother's obit is VERY IMPORTANT. That would give a time-frame for this potential marriage between the two.

I would contact the children of the KNOWN Lorna.
