I found these after I blundered into a Legacy.com database and entered "Frontier Airlines" in their search machine.

"...she was a stewardess for Frontier Airlines."

Tommy Munns

"...maintaining aircraft working for many aviation organizations including Continental and Frontier Airlines."
Post any info you have - they are unknown to me.

The Dec 1953 Sunliner Times has an article about stewardess Willie Edwards.
The Nov 4, 1955 FL Personnel Roster lists W. L. Edwards, Stew, living in Aurora, CO.
Willie is such an unusual girl's name this must be Willie Lee E. "Billye" Ahrens in the obituary.
She would have quit FL when she married in 1956.
