  • It is not always necessary to put the ex wife in an obituary, but if the family feels this is the right thing to do then it could be written as 'survived by his first wife Jane Doe (if any children add:) son John Doe and daughter Mary (put married name if you know it or if she is single then use 'Doe.')

It is up to the family to decide whether to include the ex-wife in the funeral obituary. In some cases, if the relationship was significant and respectful, it may be appropriate to include her. However, it ultimately depends on the family's preference and the nature of the relationship.

It depends on the family. If they had a child, certainly include her. In good taste, she should be mentioned anyway. Example: Surviving are (parents by names); current spouse by name; children (by name and oldest to youngest; married children by married names); his first wife, (her name) and their daughter (full name); 4 grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Both can be included, especially if their were children with the first wife. List current spouse first. List their children by names in order of birth List first wife by her name. List their children next.

As the deceased has indicated, or his current spouse or family wishes. No debate on this.
Tell the truth about it, tell it lovingly.
