Durante l'epidemia di AIDS alla fine degli anni '80, abbandonò la carriera di agente immobiliare di successo per aiutare i malati di AIDS che non avevano nessuno a prendersi cura di loro. A causa dei pregiudizi, delle paure e dello stigma che circondava la malattia in quegli anni, era spesso l'unica a prendersi cura di loro fino alla morte. In particolare, è nota per averli seppelliti nel suo cimitero di famiglia a Hot Spring in Arkansas. Attualmente vive a Rogers, sempre in Arkansas. (it) |
