When Christine Untrauer learned that local fallen Vietnam veteran Willie Ross Dennis didn’t have a grave marker, she was determined to change that.
Untrauer is a Ravenna-based volunteer Find a Grave contributor who began using the website in 1999 to document her parents’ gravesites in Mantua. Find a Grave is an online collection of gravesites where anyone can add to, create and find existing gravesites. Since then, she has used the website to document thousands of gravesites in several states. Nowadays, she specifically works on military veteran gravesites, because she believes veterans signed a blank check and gave their lives for our country.
