My paternal grandma, Loraine Mary Owens (born Bricault), b. November 8, 2013. d. May 27, 2008. This picture was scanned and given to my dad with the file name 1936.jpg, that would make her 23 years old, one year before she married my grandpa, Thomas Aloysious Owens (b. June 21, 1913, d. April 18, 1992) on September 25, 1937.
I am not sure what the occasion was for the photo, I would think back then taking a studio photograph would be a special occasion. Perhaps it was part of engagement photos, I don't know if people did that then, or when they were engaged? I love the slight peachy color in the cheeks and lips.
