It was reported on a mailing list of ex-Bell labs staff and other early UNIX users. This write up of her career was the best one I could find, sourced from information there. It's from 2018 when she got an award. If you have a better one I'd welcome it being posted.

Thanks for the confirmation. I first saw her mentioned when I started using Unix in 1979, and am sorry to hear of her passing.
