She was found dead alongside her 92-year-old mother, Elizabeth Stokely, and her 90-year-old father, Arthur Stokely, in their home.

There were no arrests or suspects involved, as the case was determined to be a murder-suicide. The family was left devastated by the loss of three loved ones in such a horrific manner.
