Death of Maria Simon

Hello Stefan Fröhlich, I saw that you edited Maria Simon (sociologist) to reflect that she has died on 9 March of this year. Could you please provide the source of this information. I'm not doubting that she has passed away, but there have been social media posts claiming that she died on a different date. Given that everything we write needs to be verifiable, it's necessary that we find a reliable, published source for her date of death. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 22:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any official document for this. Up to now I know the date from my father, a distant relative of her, so this should be correct. However I'll attend the funeral tomorrow and will ask. Stefan Fröhlich (talk) 22:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. We would only need a newspaper article that states the date. I will look out myself, but if you find anything, do let me know. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 06:59, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Her son today mentioned "just in time for World Womens Day" which would have been March, 8th. I don't think any newspaper article would be a more reliable source, but (due to your Wikipedia experience) I leave it up to you whether to change this or to wait for anything written.
