Is it fair to say she won because she died last?

Last year the last surviving soldier died. I thought he was French though not American. Could be wrong.

She had a dedication to living. One that I don't share for that long. I'm shooting for 75-80.

Does it creep them out that you burst into tears whenever you look at them?
