Anonymous "She worked here from 1990 until her early death from an illness at age 22 in 2012"? Thanks I think this simple addition makes it read a little better (because of the proximity of the other numbers).

If she was 22 when she died in 2012 she was born around 1990. She would have been a baby when she started work. Is that what you meant?

Oops - thank you. She died at 42, not 22 (typo!)
