The grass is no longer singing (mort d'une vieille dame indigne)

Her name takes me back to almost thirty years back, to days spent almost in a trance reading the Martha Quest series and the Golden Notebook.
And even though she had reached a ripe old age, it still comes as a shock that she is dead.

Et elle m'avait tant fait rire en 2007 quand elle a commenté la nouvelle de sa nobélisation sur le perron de sa maison, son cabas de légumes à ses pieds! la classe!
