I see a problem but I don't know which fact is wrong so I can't fix it. The birth and death dates given cause the template to (correctly) calculate her age at death as 98. The text says she died at age 99 (giving the same death date as in the template), just shy of her 100th birthday, and cite a source. Either the source is wrong about her age at death, or her birth or death date is wrong, but I don't know which. Gms3591 (talk) 12:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing out this discrepancy. I've decided to remove the fact about her age at death just to eliminate confusion as the source cited was the only one I found that listed her age at death as 99. Howkafkaesque (talk) 01:37, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
