Hi Nicolet1327 thanks for creating this article! I have some feedback for you:

Per Wikipedia policies, section titles are in "Sentence case" not "Title Case". Therefore, instead of a section called "Early Life", it should be "Early life", and so on. The exception, of course, is proper nouns, which remain capitalized.
The lead seems a bit sparse relative to the rest of the article. See if you can add some more to make it representative. I generally like to have at least one sentence in the lead per section in the body.
I see you have an external link to a PDF in one of the image captions. These external links are generally excluded from the body and captions. External links can go in the "External links" section. However, since this link is already used as a reference, it is considered redundant for it to be in a reference section and external links section
In the infobox it states that she died in Washington DC, but that isn't explicit in the text, just that she died at the family residence. It may seem like overkill, but it would be good to stick "Washington, DC" after the address of the family residence.
Great job linking other articles to this one!

I honestly have very little feedback because this is an excellently written article. Please let us know if you need help nominating for Did You Know! Ryan and I are happy to nominate it on your behalf if you'd like :) Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
