Death Notices

I am indexing Death Notices. It asks for the spouses information - but the death notice contains info on current and pre-deceased spouses. I'm assuming I include only the current spouse, but just want some clarification. Is there a way to indicate previous spouses?

The pic is of a death notice of a widow, which is even more unique case I need for clarification

Here is the link to the web page - don't know if you can pull the batch up with that

    The general rule is to index only the current spouse. The researcher will be able to see from the document that there was another spouse. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-should-i-index-multiple-spouses-or-parents
