Photo of part of the Baxter Family

Writer's picture: Sandi TarantoSandi Taranto

I am told that this is, left to right, Lynne, Lucille, Leon, Marie. However, I think that is inaccurate, and that it's actually either Lynn, Lucille, Leon, and Katrina... or Katrina, Lucille, Leon, and Marie. The age of the parents in the photo really tells me that the youngest is Lynn, which would make the eldest too young to be Marie.

Marie's sisters, disregarding the possibility that Dorothy is Marie's elder sister (it is speculated that she is the product of Lucille and Lucille's step-father, not actually Lucille's youngest sister as is officially claimed), are in this order of birth: Marie, Crystal, Katrina, and then Lynn late in the Baxters' lives (mid-forties for Lucille).

I do not know whether or not Dorothy was Lucille's daughter. I suspect this is the case, though. Lucille stated repeatedly that she was 10 years old when Dorothy was born so couldn't possibly be her mother; yet by birthdate, she was in fact 14 when Dorothy was born. I believe the lie about the birthdate is because Lucille was lying and trying to do it in a way that (at the time) could not be checked into due to the geographical separation between her family of origin and her nuclear family of husband and daughters.
