One of my favorite blogs has been Maya’s Granny. I was introduced to her work early in the game, introduced by PureLand Mountain. She posted pretty much every day for most of 2 years, rain or shine, even if it was just a neat picture or an interesting quote. She wrote eloquently on her political opinions, told family stories, and even wrote about the silly things her cats — a pair of brothers known as “the Hooligans” — had done. It was a neat stop on my daily reading, one that I preferred to visit directly rather than let my RSS feeder collect it automatically.
Unfortunately, Granny had a heart attack in February, and her health had never really returned. Like many people, I sent notes. I had been searching for a nice postcard of Red Rocks Conservation Area to send her, knowing how she missed the beautiful landscape of Alaska, but I had no luck. Sadly, she passed away over the weekend. Here is what her daughter has to say on the matter, and this is from her son-in-law. She was a neat lady, and even though I never met her I will miss her.
Thanks so much so saying such nice things about Joycelyn (aka “Maya’s Granny”).
Thank you also. I miss her so much, and to know how much she was appreciated and loved by others is comforting.
