From A. J. Sporleder, Lydia Sporleder's grandson, in a message to Gary Ziemendorf:
"Lydia died May 29, 1984. She had Alzhimers for over 10 years. She moved in my parents cottage next door to us in 1973 and lived there until 1975. She wandered out of the cottage at night in the winter and Lisa and I found her lying in the snow when we went to get on the bus for school. She eventually went to the Newfane nursing home where she remained until she died. She had donated her body to science and her ashes were released back to the family in 1990 from the university. She gave up her Ocelots in 1970 about a year after they attacked me and her. Might I add, in her home. They went to a zoo somewhere but I don't know where."
