She won a bazillion bucks in the lottery, had a blast for the rest of her life and built the best no-kill shelter/foster home for animals on the planet, and died happy, with Irish Wolfhounds licking her face and wagging their tails, and a cat curled on the pillow next to her head.

After a most wonderful and near perfect day, I want to sit in a nice comfy leather arm chair in my library near the hearth, send everyone away and have a nice drink and a pipe while surrounded by my books and my life's work. Thereupon I fall asleep, have a painless heart attack that I never feel, and receive my ghostly visit from an old friend, who shall joke and journey with me to the white ship, where I set sail for the Green Land beyond the veil - and where I can finally get some damned peace and rest for a change.
As his creation towered above him and his city, he knew that all his struggles developing the n-over-zero math had finally paid off. While those around him panicked or impotently fired upon the colossal creature with the best arms modern technology had created, Ron's pride was as swollen as the beast's roar was loud.

She died peacefully in her sleep after having sex at the age of 120 years. The marathon that day had tired her more than usual. Her kids and all of her grandkids and great-, etc.-kids were there to wish her a good trip. A grand New Orleans jazz funeral will be held. Her ashes will be spread in a location or locations of her kids' choosing.
"The light of the fading sun gently touches her hair, creating a glowing halo seen by no one. She slips deep into a timeless memory even as the curl of a smile reaches her lips."
