Representative Marion Mulleague?


It apparently could have happened as Gundella, then known by her first husband's name Mulleague, ran as a Democrat delegate to the 1961 constitutional convention, losing in the primary to William D. Ford and others.

Mr. Mulleague died in a car accident in 1952, two years after they married, leaving her a young widow with two infants. Those children, James and Madilynne, carried the Mulleague name while Veronica was John Kuclo's daughter. Curiously enough, all three were listed in John's obituary when he died in 2005, as he became their surrogate father.  Which is a happy ending to a tragic story.

John and Marion divorced sometime in the mid 1980s after 20+ years of marriage. Not that I'm trying to dig up information on her but I've always wondered about the Mulleague name and it was right in front of me in a previously read article.
