No kids. Played for the other team.

She had a complete change of heart in the 90s. RIP.

She ended up having the child from the Roe pregnancy and later became a Catholic and joined the pro-life camp.

Some people are definitely dealt a bad hand in life, no question about that.
 
She had a rough life. May God have mercy on her soul.
