I am shocked. Had no idea she was ailing. One more high, clear voice in the heavenly choir. RIP.

Very sad.  Loved her and her sister in their heyday, when most folks' first exposure to them was one of Linda Ronstadt's covers of their songs.  :'(

I bought a Christmas CD she did a few years ago as an impulse gift purchase for my mom.  I recall liking it, but no particulars ...
