In Memoriam: DFLforever [View all]

DFLforever passed away on Thursday, August 15. She had just turned 86 years old four days before her death. She posted very seldomly; in fact, she hadn't posted since 2014, but she recommended posts through early August of this year. She was a star member who had been part of DU since 2002. She was also my mother. Because of her infrequent posts, few of you will know her, but she was a committed Democrat, who in her younger and middle-aged years volunteered to get out the vote in nearly every local and federal election. She especially loved Barack Obama and was a fervent supporter of Joe Biden. She was also excited about the Harris-Walz ticket, being a Minnesotan, born and raised in St. Paul.

I initially didn't want to post a thread, but this is the only way I can get her added to the In Memoriam page, which I believe she deserves due to her long-standing commitment to DU.

If you are so disposed, she asked in her will that memorial contributions be made to Doctors without Borders. donate.doctorswithoutborders.org It is, after all, a great cause.
