From the article:

An Idaho woman who filed a lawsuit to be buried with her late wife in the state’s Veterans Cemetery has won her case, after the constitutional same-sex marriage ban was struck down this month.

Madelynn Taylor, a 74-year-old Navy veteran, was unable to be buried with her wife Jean Mixer last year as Idaho did not recognise out-of-state same-sex marriages.

Awww, someone must be chopping onions in her. I've got something in my eye.

It's great to see this struggle finally come to an end for her.

The local ABC station had a good story on this yesterday (with video, grab the tissues):
