Is it appropriate to cite this reference for her date of death?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7781593/ is an article reviewing the evidence for learning in single-celled organisms, and reviews Gelber's work. One part of the paper states:

"Gelber’s subsequent career is hard to track after the lapse of years. [...] She died in 1991. The Wikipedia entry on her arose from our enquiries."

Is it appropriate to cite this paper for her date of death, given that this Wikipedia page may have originated from research efforts undertaken to write this paper? Saint Aardvark (talk) 17:36, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Info from article

The below info was in article, but moved here because it was unsourced.

"According to a personal interview I conducted with her in the 1990s for a report on her for an undergraduate class at San Jose State, my great-grandmother, Dr. Beatrice Gelber, earned a doctorate in psychology from the University of Chicago and also attended Columbia University."
