Some sad news about DUer yellerpup

[EarlG]

I'm sorry to report that longtime DU member yellerpup has passed away. This news was recently reported to me by her husband, who asked that I let you all know.

I did not know yellerpup outside of DU, but I can tell you that she joined us all the way back in 2004, and posted more than 12,000 times over a twenty year period. Her last post was in October 2024, although she was still recommending posts in January of this year. She often frequented General Discussion, the Lounge, and Cooking & Baking. She was a Star Member, and a host of the Pro-Choice forum.

My condolences to her family and friends. She will be remembered at DU on our In Memoriam page.

14. So very sorry to read this. We need yellerpup and so many more inspired by her...

I remember interacting with her frequently and send my hope that she passed peacefully and that her husband, family, friends can be heartened by her time with them and the good memories.

I note her Signature Line from the late great Will Rogers:

If you want to be successful, it is just this simple - know what you are doing, love what you are doing, and believe in what you are doing. Will Rogers

Nice. You will be missed, yellerpup.

[SergeStorms]

34. To paraphrase John Donne's beautiful poem....

"Anyone's death diminishes me, because I am involved in humankind..."

I didn't know DUer yellerpup either, but she obviously felt the same way about social and political injustices as the rest of us. In that respect we are all diminished by her transition into another form. Her energy continues on.
My condolences to her family and friends.
