She was 61 years old and died of pancreatic cancer.

Deepest sympathies to her family and all who knew here.

61 is no age, but none of us know when the plug will be pulled I suppose.
She actually came over to me on the few interviews I heard as almost
apologetic for being so famous. However, I think she did a lot of good from
what I've read. Certainly she seemed to be able to be diplomatic and also
say what she thought, not an easy thing to do.
