She may have been best known for Travelin’ Lady, which was her nickname, and for which Hunter S. Thompson wrote liner notes.
She also collaborated with numerous artists including Bruce “U. Utah” Phillips, Peter Rowan, Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III. A memorial is planned in her Boise, Idaho, home.
