Her commitment to environmental issues was further highlighted by her book, which won the Rachel Carson Environment Book Award, showcasing her dedication to making a positive impact. “Readers will find solace, humor, and a route to feeling empowered,” judges noted about her work.
The announcement of her death comes as a shock to many, with friends and family mourning the loss of a woman who inspired countless others through her writing and charitable efforts.
