Hi Kirsten,
 
It is difficult to identify persons in the US unless they have unusual names:  The US phone listings have 30 persons named Jane Hamel and more than 100 named Judy Smith.
 
And this shows that Hans died in 1987:
 
Social Security Death Index
Name: Hans Christensen
SSN: 525-38-2777
Last Residence: 88101  Clovis, Curry, New Mexico, United States of America
Born: 14 Jan 1892
Died: 16 Dec 1987
State (Year) SSN issued: New Mexico (Before 1951)

But here is a listing for Hans, from an old directory:
 
U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 2
Name: Hans Christensen
Address: 908 N Lea St, Clovis, NM, 88101-6131
 
So this must be Inez in the current telephone listings:
 
I K Christensen
908 N Lea St
Clovis, NM 88101
(505) 763-5700

You can call or write her at that address, but she would be about 99 years old, and the telephone listings are not always current.

This could be an obituary for Jane's sister-in-law:

It shows husband Gerald and they are living in Alamogordo, New Mexico.

Thank you very much for help

Here is Hans' obituary, sent by a volunteer I emailed in April:

[Jane C]

From the obituary for Hans, we can now tell the obituary I found listing Jane as a survivor is the correct Jane. It shows her husband's name and town where she lives. She is (or has been) a school librarian. You can find an email address for her by "googling" her name and town.

Best of all the obituary Homer got shows where Judy has lived.

Here is the address for the cemetery where Hans is buried. If his wife has died, the cemetery can tell you if she is buried with him.

Lawn Haven Memorial Gardens Cemetery
1601 East Llano Estacado Blvd
Clovis, Curry County
New Mexico, USA 88101
Phone: (505) 763-3814

On this link (Find a Grave) you can request that a volunteer take a photo of the grave:
