    79 seems a bit young, does anyone know what happened? Wikipedia just says “her health was in decline.”

      79 is not that young. Life expectancy for women in the US seems to be ~82 (I thought it would be higher considering how rich the US is). And at that age even somewhat minor medical issues tend be more demanding and impactful.
