Where will the services and burial for Edith Williams, granddaughter of Theodore Roosevelt be held?

Question

Mrs. Edith Derby Williams died just a week shy of her 91st birthday on June 8, 2008. Is she going to be buried in Washington state where she resided for the past 62 years or will she be buried with Roosevelt family members at Youngs Memorial Cemetery in Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY with relatives?

Answer 1

Here is her obituary



Her obituary doesn't seem to say.  This is her local obit.   It was run today so there might be another one later with the arrangements.  This one doesn't even list the funeral home.  If you can find out the funeral home, then you can call them and ask them where burial will take place.
