I didn't really know; the only reason I made the page was because I was looking at her daughter's page and found it odd that despite the fact that she was a famous person, there was no page. I took the name format from her daughter's page, in order to keep them consistent. If both pages would be better off without the umlaut, then go for a page move; I have no issue with it. --UNHchabo16:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
I can find no reliable justification for "December 25" being given as her death date. | One blog I found described the flight as taking off at "a little after 11:00pm" which would have her dying after midnight on Dec 25, but the wikipedia entry for LANSA Flight 508 says "shortly before noon" and the | Aviation Safety accident report states that the accident happened at 12:36 on December 24. Plus I find it far more likely that a flight take off at mid-day instead of midnight! So I've changed her death date, and the corresponding entry in "Deaths" on December 25 -- Clippership (talk) 19:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)(P.S. don't ask me what I'm doing editing Wikipedia on Christmas Eve when we have 9 guests coming for dinner in 4 hours!)Reply

This article with recollections by her daughter says "she also survived the crash but was badly injured and she couldn't move. She died several days later." Based on that, the 24 December death date is too early. Doremo (talk) 08:46, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
