Margaret Dunning passes away at the age of 104

I remember that someone (MTI) posted this article in the NYT about a 101-year-old lady with a 1930 Packard 740:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/automobiles/packard-81-is-a-youngster-to-its-driver.html

If you don't remember the article, you should absolutely read it. This is a 101-year-old woman who owns several vintage cars and even changes her own oil.

Unfortunately, Hemmings posted a couple days ago here that Margaret has passed on :

Quote:
While on a California auto rally last weekend, intended to raise money for children’s charities, Margaret accidentally fell on some stairs. She was transported to a hospital in Santa Barbara where she died at the age of 104. And literally until the moment she passed away, Margaret continued to drive.
RIP Margaret.
