Date of death for Lida Barrett

The Mathematical Association of America sent around a notice of her death with the date of death announced at January 28, 2021. She passed away in her Knoxville, Tennessee nursing home. I don't know where the editor got the date of death but I think it is incorrect. I can't find an obit. I looked in several TN newspapers. Mvitulli (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please add the notice to the article as a reference? We can't report on recent deaths without a source. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:43, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thus far, there was only an email circulated to several long-time MAA members and activists. Someone forwarded it to me. When there is an MAA News item, I will certainly link to it. Mvitulli (talk) 18:00, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is now a notice on maa.org with the date of her death. I added the citation. Mvitulli (talk) 00:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just added a citation to her obituary in the Knoxville News Sentinel. Mvitulli (talk) 23:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
