Her work in charting and drawing maps of Middle-earth has been an important resource to Tolkien fans worldwide, especially helpful to those who write fan fiction and RPGs. She was also a member of the Éowyn Challenge site's "Walk to Rivendell", where her maps provided the mileage information for many walkers.

We owe her a great debt of thanks; may she rest in peace.
