Deceased Member's name is spelled incorrectly

I had a sister of the ward come to me today to inform me that her mother's first name is spelled incorrectly, the issue I saw immediately in my mind is that I recorded the mother's death within the past month or so I would not have access to the mother's record any longer.

I looked into the member's information for this sister, and under parents, I was able to correct the spelling of the mother there, but I think that is a superficial change only (since it did not have any birth or death dates entered under edit).

So the question is how can I find out what the Church records have for the mother's name and if it is incorrect, how to get it corrected?

I'm surprised you'd be able to edit the name of a member parent. Unless this was a non-member spouse, I suspect she's not properly linked with her mother.

I'd suggest contacting support.

I am thinking since her mother and father were deceased, it allowed me to edit the name. I do not know if that is true or not, but the only logical assumption I can make. I did email support as well.
