Died on her lawn, of a heart attack, broke, her house falling in about her head, had cancer, no health benefits, never made more than $25,000 teaching a full load, let go by her school, a Catholic college, not unionized. Her pauper's coffin was cardboard. Do any of my comp lit friends know a prayer for the dead in French?

$25,000 a year in her best year in earnings may not have left her with much in savings. Degrees of penury.
