In March 2015, a lemon-sized tumor was discovered and removed from her throat. Months later, she underwent the same procedure on the right side of her throat. Her health struggles were highlighted in the reality show.
The beloved woman was surrounded by family and friends when she passed away. She was 55 years old.
We will never forget her outgoing personality. #RIP you beautiful soul.
