Sometimes a tombstone for a married couple will be erected after the first spouse dies. The spouse’s name may be on the stone with a blank left to complete the death information when that time arrives. That blank sometimes does not get filled in.
Just because that death date is blank does not mean the surviving spouse is still alive. They could have been buried elsewhere (perhaps with a new spouse), been cremated and with their ashes spread somewhere, or no one had a stone cutter complete the date of death for the surviving spouse.
