She had been sick for the past couple of years. I met her briefly a couple times throughout the years and had some small exchanges on Facebook when she would post about her health and ask friends and fans about what movies she should check out.
It's sad to see anyone of my musical influences lives come to an end, however that is a harsh reality when they start hitting their 50's and up. She blew my mind several times watching her perform. If you were lucky enough to be alive and able to see The Butthole Surfers perform in the mid to late 80s and early 90's you were never the same afterwards. It's something that no other band has ever accomplished or ever will. The closest I have ever seen was Crash Worship and that was a whole different kind of experience but had a similar vibe.
