She remained a authentically cheerful spirit, with a penetrating stare and a determination to see the positive in absolutely everything; despite when her life was difficult, she illuminated every space with her distinctive hairstyle.

Such delight she enjoyed and distributed with us, and such an incredible heritage she established.

It would be easier to list the writers of my generation who hadn't encountered her works. This includes the world-conquering her famous series, but dating back to her initial publications.
