Thomas v. Union Fidelity Life Insurance

Pope, Judge.

Appellant Nevelyn Thomas brought this action against appellee Union Fidelity Life Insurance Company seeking to recover, as the beneficiary, the face value of a life insurance policy purportedly issued by appellee to appellant’s deceased daughter, Marie Hills.

Following pretrial discovery, appellee moved for summary judgment. Appellant brings this appeal from the grant of that motion.
