I really enjoyed her interview on the podcast, "The Retro Hour", as well as various articles in Retro Gamer Magazine. She seemed like a kind, quirky soul.

A tremendous loss to retro gaming, I think she talked about having lots of old documentation for companies she worked at throughout her career, now mostly all defunct. Hopefully a gaming museum will handle care of those items at some point. R.I.P.
