Delete nothing to indicate notability. The honorary PhD from Brown is apparently a family legend--I've checked the list o Brown honorary degrees for the 20th & 21st century and there is no one by any form of her married name, or of her family name. DGG ( talk ) 07:24, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is difficult to find sources of people from this period. Those given seem adequate. Others could no doubt be found in contemporary sources which are not accessible on the internet.--Ipigott (talk) 08:48, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Almost everything here was derived from the obit her own family wrote at [1]. It is not theleast difficult to find sources for people on her period (she died in 2017) if the sources actually exist in newspaper or magazines ofr books, but the only sources here are the local newspapers that were copied from that obit.

Delete Articles are supposed to be built on 3rd-party, indepdent, secondary reliable sources. Family written obituaries are none of those. People who were alive in the last decade do not get "it is hard to find sources" handwaves. That is for people who died before 1650, and you have to still have a good reason to say they are notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Other then the obit, I am not finding anything to show notability. Jeepday (talk) 19:04, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete By all accounts, a good and kind person, but not a notable one. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:29, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - a member of a prominent American family...surely did a lot of honorable work, but it is hard to establish notability based on wiki criteria. Kolma8 (talk) 18:42, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
