“No cause of death was given”
YES IT WAS..SHE DIED FROM BEING 104!!
Benito- that was my first thought. lol. Or, “Tired”.
She almost made it to 105. Her bday was April 12th.
Never heard of her.
RIP
104’s a pretty good run.
izlamo delenda est …
Read some her books when I was a kid.
Right now Leftists who never heard of her are scouring her books to find a way to cancel her I’m sure.
@bob frapples
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Her books were good, I remember them as i am only 51.
I doubt those books would be well received or printed now days.
(Thinking of Dr. Seusse) Lucky no one tried to cancel thin woman.
Oh yes, Ramona, Beezus, Henry and other characters. Not my favorite author as a child, but solid. 104 is a long time to live! So many things she witnessed!
Oh, I loved her books when I was in elementary school!
“No cause of death was given.”
Because, as we all know, people don’t just die for no reason, as evidenced by the scores of people living among us who are hundreds of years old.
Progressives tear into her work as white supremacy, transgender-phobic, yada yada in 3.2.1…
LOVED her books when I was a kid… soo many decades ago. In the school library and on order from Scholastic Books (cheap paperbacks we ordered through the school that I now realize must have given a kickback to the union).
Beezus and Ramona: that was me and my little sister! (I know: ‘my sister and I’ but it makes more sense the other way, as does the ‘dawnzer lee light.’)
Aroma, the pet skunk… Ralph and the motorcycle… My childhood love of reading…
Please don’t cancel Beverly Cleary! Gotta buy those books for nieces and nephews!!
I was introduced to the Ramona books when I was in 1st grade when Miss Olsen read them to us. Loved them. God Speed Ms. Cleary
