Presumably you have her SSDI? Does it match up with a known DOB? Ward is a common name.

Catherine Ward
SSN: 522-44-5135
Last Residence: 94605 Oakland, Alameda, California, United States of America
Born: 8 Mar 1903
Died: 3 Jan 1998
State (Year) SSN issued: Colorado (1952)

You could order a copy from here -

It may give details of next of kin

Henrietta's card in 1952 says she was going to 2010 W. Bijou Colorado Springs.

To find Ancestors of this couple, buy the marriage cert.........it will name their fathers.

With that info, you can try to work back through the generations
