Tylitha was named after her Grandmother Talitha (Nott) Rucks, and went by the name of Annie by her family. She was in a car accident and sustained a head injury behind the left ear. After her check up she was sent home, but two weeks later came down with a high grade fever. The extremely high fever caused her death. The physicians speculate that a bruise inside the skull, swelling and bleeding caused the fever. She died in her mother's arms, only 16 months old. She was buried in a pink dress and a baby doll with matching dress along side of her.
