“She had just visited her children in Katherine, Darwin, Australia. Quite unfortunate, knowing the joy of having your parent around. The family is devastated,” added Boit.
Too’s visit to her daughter Caroline and her family in Katherine, Northern Territory, occurred in August 2023.
However, during her time there, she developed chest complications, which required medical attention.

She was rushed back to Katherine Hospital, where she was admitted once again.
Tragically, despite continued efforts to save her, Too passed away on May 3, 2024, at 14:15 hours.
