Talk:Marion Cunningham (author)

Near death in 2009
I've removed the sentence about her being "near death in a hospice" in 2009 (apparently taken from here although uncited). According to this she was still alive as of February 2012, when she turned 90. Angr (talk) 18:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * She died today: SF Chron: American cooking legend Marion Cunningham dies at 90. I've updated the article. Isaac (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
