She died due to the pneumonia caused by COVID-19. She became infected by the coronavirus sometime in the week of December 10th, 2020. On December 14th, 2020 she had to go to the hospital.

Though she could not have family and friends at her side during her final days like in times before the pandemic, she received many messages of love, hope, and encouragement. She left this world knowing how much she was loved and how much she was going to be missed.
