I was able to find this document on FamilySearch:

It lists an Amy Maxine Blevins, with the alias Amy M. Gordon, who was born in 1930.

I believe this is her grave (although it appears that she is still alive). It lists her husband as Charles Lloyd Blevins. He is listed as being born in 1933, the same as Lloyd Blevins on the 1940 Census.
I cannot tell if Gordon is her maiden name, or if she remarried a man named Gordon after Lloyd’s passing in 1991, if this is Ninja’s grandmother
Interesting. Blevins is a Melungeon family.
