Now that makes me feel old. It was probably not a bad lifespan for her, considering that she had survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for more than twenty years. Perhaps it got her in the end.
From the sound of it, Kathleen Eyring had dementia, Alzheimer's or something similar, and had been in a decline for quite some time. She was quite an intelligent woman in her younger days, having been her high school valedictorian, and a student at Cal. I wonder how she would evaluate her life in retrospect. It was pretty much Kinder, Küche, Kirche (children, kitchen, church,) as the Germans might say. Perhaps she found it satisfying.

The thing I find really crazy about it is I worked with her at Thiokol 45 years ago and I was a good little mormon girl and she wasn't active mormon if even mormon at all and she sends me this. Not sure if I should say something or not. She just friended me about a year ago.

I don't think you're obligated to say anything. To me, the dialogue was unsolicited and impersonal. You should be able to ignore it and not feel guilty.
