Edit Household Name

Post by josephsummers »

I have a unique situation with a household in our Unit.

I open our member list and group the list by household. The household in question has a wife who is a member and a husband non-member.

The husband has recently passed away but his name is showing up on the household name in the household member list. When I go to edit the household name it only lets me edit the Surname. Because the husband was not a member there isn't a record for me to record his death and the wife is already listed as the head of household. How can I remove his name from our household name list?

Hope I explained this weird situation clearly.

You need to terminate the marriage. Reason: death.

His name will disappear from the listing.
