The article said: "Elizabeth Marasovic, who is 81, blind and uses a wheelchair, came from El Cerrito with her daughter, Carole, to listen to the four-hour broadcast. "It feels as if we grew up with her in terms of her vulnerability as a person," said Carole Marasovic, who had also watched Diana's wedding years ago on TV. "There was something about her that felt very human to us. She wore her heart on her sleeves."¹⁰" A law suit filed by daughter Carole describes the last few weeks of Elizabeth's life.¹¹ She died on 7 June 1999 at Shields Richmond Nursing Center, 1919 Cutting Blvd, Richmond, California, at age 83.²
