Wordcandy wishes her the best.

Ernestine Gilbreth Carey died Saturday. Ms. Carey was the co-author, along with her younger brother, Frank Gilbreth, of the wonderful memoir Cheaper By the Dozen. She was 98, and is survived by two of her siblings, two children, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. You can read an obituary here. It's really nice to hear that an author who entertained so many readers lived such a rich, fulfilling life--she deserved it.
