Note from one of her uncles, Reverend Don Root: "I don't know if you are aware that one of Orlin's (Root) daughters died back in December (2019). She had been in a nursing home for around 20 years after suffering a brain aneurysm. Orlin called me and asked me to do the funeral for her. It was right around Christmas. It was a small family gathering at the funeral home. I got to meet his other daughter, two sons, and some of his grandchildren. I felt honored to have been asked. I did my best to make it very personal, drawing in some of the local Root history. They were very appreciative. They appear to be a close-knit family."
