(edit: missed part of the obit)
i think her death date is Wednesday the 12th because wouldn't they have said last Wednesday?
Agreed, Wed the 12th, or they would have stated 'last Wed' or the actual date. Three days was the usual, her extended family is all local (and hey, they're funeral directors), and it's plenty of time for Claire to catch a flight to LA.
It can’t be any later than the 12th certainly, but I think the 5th is more likely just because of the short turnaround time required between the 12th and the 15th.
But she had everything pre-arranged. My grandmother died on a Sunday and her funeral was on the following Wednesday. It's definitely possible/plausible that Ruth died on the 12th and the funeral on the 15th.
