Note: Lois McCracken, age 24, and daughter Sandra, age 8 months, were listed on a Pan American Airways, Inc. Air Passengers Manifest for a flight departing Burbank, California to Honolulu, Hawaii on 13 FEB 1947. This was the trip referenced in Tracy's note below.

Tracy Devault note:
Lois is of Chinese ancestry. Her family lived in Hawaii where her father was a foreman on a cattle ranch. Her first husband was John Robert McCracken. Their daughter, Sandra Lee McCracken was born in Los Angeles County, California. (I have not been able to find a record of this birth in the California Birth Index.) About October of 1946 Lois returned to Hawaii thinking that John would follow shortly. Later he obtained a divorce in Tijuana, Mexico. (William Bruce Gillmore's genealogy states that Lois was a widow. Since John Robert McCracken did not die until 1991, this was in error.)

Lois married Harold Gillmore Brooks in September of 1953. Their daughter Wendy was born in Hawaii. The following obituary is believed to be that of one of Lois' brothers. If so, Lois was still alive in 1998 and still using the Brooks surname. In 2003 I provided some information to Lon McCracken who was trying to locate his half-sister Sandra.
