Just thought I'd let everyone know that Tasha Tudor died today in her home in Marlboro, Vermont. She will be sadly missed by this little homesteading family, for all the inspiration we've gleaned from her wonderful books and videos.

I was always afraid to hear this....I knew it would happen eventually, though. What a wonderful life she had--so glad I purchased a signed copy of her illustrated Child's Garden of Verses for my godson last year.
With a heavy, but grateful heart....

That is sad but expected news. I have many of her books and always felt like I knew her just a bit. We had the same maiden name and I always wondered if we might be related.

Oh how sad. She will sure be missed. I love my books about her and also the ones she illustrated.

Oh, that's sad, but what a wonderful full life she lived.
I also love her books and art work.

| I'm sure her family and the world have only wonderful memories of her. What an inspiration that little woman was to me. I feel like I've lost someone I know. Susan |

Is this posted online someplace? I looked on her family site and did not see it. It makes me very sad but all the corgis in heaven, my Bagel too, will have an excellent new mommy who will never leave them - doggy heaven is very lucky to have her :) She lead a charmed life and was a real person unmarred by technology. Bless her soul I loved her dearly. *tears*

Oh, how terribly sad! I got a little teary eyed as I read the brief posting of her passing on the website-- which I didn't even know existed until NOW! Such a neat little lady that will be terribly missed, but she left behind such a rich legacy for her family and friends and all her devoted fans. Thanks for letting us know Marqueta.
Shirley, what tapes do you have? Just curious. ~~~ Tracy

This made me teary eyed, too. I loved Tasha Tudor and all her beautiful beautiful books. There is something very comforting to me just looking at her books and reading about her. I will miss her. But yes, she lived a long and beautiful life.
