How do you address an envelope for a widow Should it not be Mrs John Doe?

* It depends on the individual. Some widows prefer to keep their husband's Christian name such as 'John.' Either way is correct ... John or Jane. * The usual practice is "Mrs. Jane Doe"; but always defer to the woman's preference. Note: If a married woman's husband is alive, then the form "Mrs. John Doe" is commonly used, but in social contexts only: in a business letter she should not be addressed that way. * In traditional, published etiquette, specifically referenced in Miss Manners Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior (2005)and Crane's Blue Book of Social Stationery (2002), a widow is only correctly addressed formally as "Mrs. John Doe". Informally, she would be "Jane Doe". Using "Mrs. Jane Doe" implies that she is a divorcee.
