These could be her parents : Henry Newton Williams and Jewel Gandy.

Are you sure that your grandparents married at all? The reason why I ask is because I found a record from where they applied for a marriage license in Tarrant County on May 29, 1961, but the actual marriage was never recorded. The marriage application is recorded in Volume 127 Page 270.

Also, I checked the divorce records available for Texas and was unable to locate a divorce record. That doesn't necessarily mean that it didn't happen, however, it does complicate the search a little. It might also explain why she died as Patricia Diane Williams. Do you know which cemetery in Cleburne she is interred in? Is it Cleburne Memorial Park or Rose Hill Cemetery? They are the two largest cemeteries in Cleburne.

If you know the answers to any of these questions, it might help us help you more. Take care.

I have had a look on ancestry but cannot find anything of use, It's odd as Danielle S is working on the same family.

Good luck and good hunting

In order to help... you have to have a more exact date. And, if she was not named Williams or Scott at the time she died, no one can find the right death record. The social security death index has several Patricia Williams, none of those 'fit' your info. There could be a number of reasons for this. With the right date/ place, you should be able to find an obituary, or send for the death certificate.
Someone who was born in the 40s or 50s, is easily possible still living, which is why birth records for that time frame won't be findable online.
