Aline Mary Margaret (Elwes) McDonnell, 1923-2023

[Harry Merritt]

Aline McDonnell, of Greenwich, Connecticut, USA, a member of the Elwes LG family and a descendant of King George II, died Aug. 7, 2023. Born Dec. 30, 1923, she was a daughter of (Francis) Guy Robert (1895-1966) and Barbara Dorothy (Wythes) Elwes (1896-1984). She was married in Brompton Oratory, July 17, 1948 to Hubert McDonnell Jr. (1919-2004), from a socially prominent New York family. Two daughters, (Aline) Ann Louise (1949) and Rosamond (1952).

Note: I did not find a death notice in the Greenwich or New York newspapers but I did find a mention at trinitycremationservices.com. Her husband's obituary in The New York Times in 2004 listed his widow and the two daughters, no mention of grandchildren.
