This makes me so sad, though I’m glad she isn’t in pain any longer.

It’s always sad to hear of the passing of a Doper.

☹

Rest in Peace.

I have no words to add to what has already been said, except for this quote from Spider Robinson:  
“Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased — thus do we refute entropy.”

Roz was a thoughtful, kind soul. I enjoyed working with her very much. Talked with her quite a bit in those late nights when there weren’t a lot of people around and she was always a delight.

The scleroderma that ultimately took her life first made her bedridden and miserable – she would have periods where she was not so good and would have to be on sabbatical – then she would get better enough to sit up and she’d go back to work for us. And then she got more better and went back to work work … and then she didn’t get better at all. Which is very sad.

From Facebook, posted by her stepmother: “There is a memorial in Ames, Iowa on June 10 but her sisters were mentioning a small distribution of ashes at a park in Madison she used to go to. I will make sure details are placed on her FB page.”

I was puzzled why the username seemed unfamiliar - I guess part of it is my lack of memory, but she last posted in 2014 and apparently took a sabbatical the year before that, so I guess it’s not too surprising that I can’t bring any exchanges to mind.

Always sad to lose a member of this special community, though. There seems to be fewer of us every year, like some kind of veteran’s association… veterans of the infowars, phase 1.

I honestly can’t remember a single negative thing about her. She always came off to me as thoughtful and good-natured. Even gentle in some ways. RIP.
