I hadn't seen her in years and didn't realize she was sick. She was always really nice to the young, out-of-town reporters who visited New Orleans from time-to-time, like this guy.

She also had the same name as my late grandmother, so it was always a little odd for me to read her work.

Sorry to read this. A very recognizable byline in the South. RIP.
