What if you have multiple exes...do you mention all of them?
If you have common courtesy you do. Especially if it was marriage of 10 years or more and they have kids. Even just "John Smith is survived by his loving wife Elizabeth Smith, three kids Jack Smith, Margaret Smith, and Rachel Smith, as well as his parents Mitchell and Barbara Smith and his children Alex Smith-Ross and Sarah Smith-Ross by Elana Ross. He was a father, brother, and loving member of the community blah blah blah".
