While at Notre Dame Cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts, I found the grave of Bernard J. Izbicki and Albert F. Blackman.

The information in my database shows that these two people were the former husbands of my cousin, Anastasia Rita Meleski, both of whom predeceased her.
Anastasia Rita Meleski’s first husband was Albert Francis Blackman, son of Clifford Austin Blackman and Jane A. Goodrich, who was born in about 1915 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, USA and died on 11 July 1966 in Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA. Anastasia Rita and Albert Francis Blackman were married on 08 May 1946 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA.
Anastasia Rita Meleski’s second husband was Bernard Joseph Izbicki, son of Dominik Izbicki and Józefata Marianna Bizewska, who was born on 12 May 1910 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA and who died on 30 April 1985 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA. Anastasis Rita and Bernard Joseph Izbicki were married in 1968 in Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA.
The cemetery record for Bernard Izbicki from the Notre Dame Cemetery, Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA states that:
Owner ID: 00000746
Deceased/Reserved: Izbicki, Bernard, Second husband
Age: 74
Location: Sec-25 Lot-1554 Grv-2
Buried: 09/12/1985
Property Owner: Izbicki, A.Rita Blackman
I do not have a copy of the cemetery record for Albert Francis Blackman. I would guess that Anastasia Rita purchased the cemetery plot for Albert Francis Blackman and then, when her second husband Bernard Izbicki died, she buried Bernard in the same plot as Albert.
Anastasia Rita herself is buried with her parents.
