I would like to do the temple work for my Aunt Vickie Dawn Rodighiero who passed away July 24, 2018. Her husband passed away. She has two estranged daughters (Rose and Shelly) who I have not been able to locate. They have had no relationship with Vickie for many many years.

Would it be possible for me to do this work?

Thank you,

Hello @Gail Gibson Barthlome1

To request the ordinances for a relative who was born in the last 110 years Church policy is that we need to obtain permission from a close living relative.

A close relative is a spouse, child, parent or sibling.

Would Vickie have a brother or sister who is living that you can ask permission?

This article explains the policy

The following article will be helpful to you also ... as it contains this " If you do not know whether the person has living close relatives or if you cannot contact them, please do not request permission."

It would be wonderful if you were able to establish a relationship with your cousins.

I wish I could give you another answer.

All the best.

Hi Gail

Here is the policy for completing ordinances for a relative born within the last 110 years:

When you reserve ordinances for your ancestors, you can come across a warning that reads, "Permission Required." This means that the ancestor was born within the last 110 years. Because of this, you must receive permission from a close living relative before you can reserve the name for temple work. Verbal permission is acceptable.

The close living relative can be an undivorced spouse (the spouse to whom the individual was married at death), an adult child, a parent, or a sibling.

If no close living relatives exist to grant permission, you can still request permission to do the ordinances. Please be prepared to provide evidence that no living close relatives exist. 

For more information on this topic, please consult the Church’s General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 28.1.
