[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Formally and traditionally, she is and always will be Mrs. John Smith - unless of course she marries again.[/quote] It is not 1950, and it never will be again. We’re done with that.[/quote] I hope that you'll learn that we should never be "done" with the preference of the person you're writing. It's not all about YOU.[/quote] Except that obviously OP doesn't know her aunt's preference or she would use it. She's asking what's the default in this situation, if you don't know what the person actually prefers. [/quote] [b]Most women over the age of 65 are happy to receive mail addressed as "Mrs. Husband's Name."[/quote][/b] I beg to differ. My 68-year-old married aunt would not open it and write "return to sender, no such person" on the envelope. I know a few other women in their 60s and 70s who would do the same thing. [/quote] I said "most."[/quote]
