Died with her family in a Category 4 hurricane. Her body was never recovered.
"The hurricane hit Corpus Christi, Texas, on Sept. 14, with 16 foot waves, at least 125 mph winds and catastropic damage. Despite reports of severe damage in Key West, many in Corpus Christi were unprepared, apparently believing the storm was heading for Louisiana.
The official death toll was 287 in Corpus Christi, but according to the National Weather Service, the estimates of the actual count there range from 400 to 1,000. The official list only counts those who were positively identified, and city official wanted to downplay the death toll in the national media for fear of hurting tourism."
