I remember reading about Mrs. Macefeild! I like stories where the little guy (lady) hold their own.

Cougar (and everyone), if you're going to quote from a news article, it's best to link to the original. In this case, the full story is at the Seattle Times:

That's a shame, but I was glad she stuck to her guns, even if you property went from being worth a million to being worth nothing.
The construction workers apparently really looked out for her, bringing her groceries and such.

They do not make them like that anymore-- Both the house and herself.
Some things are more valuable than money. She was offered a penthouse condo with an outside garden, and turned it down.
RIP Edith. I agree with one of the sound-offs that her house should be kept there, redone as a cafe/coffee shop, and as a tribute be named Edith's Place.
