I finally got it!

wasn’t her sister married to that Huff fella?

LEVINA

  HUFF

Best/worst name pun I’ve seen in a while!

Her sister, Diana (they called her Di for short), married Mr. Vorce.

Just a whim and a prayer!!!

Now she’s buried in a trench.

You whim some and lose some..

Whim-per…

She should have eaten cantaloupe.

Reminiscent of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s 1856 verse novel / epic poem Aurora Leigh, in which the name of secondary heroine Marian Erle ironically puns on “Marry an Earl.”

How about: her nieces and nephews always fondly referred to her as …(ahem)… Aunt Elope …!!
