Legendary Folk Singer Dies

September 21st, 2009 by Hannah

Mary Travers, part of the legendary folk trio of Peter, Paul and Mary, passed away last Wednesday at 72 years of age after losing her ongoing battle with leukemia. Her band mate, Peter Yarrow, insisted that she handled her illness with bravery. He said that his fellow singer expressed love to her family and friends “with great dignity and without restraint. It was, as Mary always was, honest and completely authentic. That’s the way she sang, too; honestly and with complete authenticity.” Her other band mate, Noel ‘Paul’ Stookey added “I am deadened and heartsick beyond words to consider a life without Mary Travers and honored beyond my wildest dreams to have shared her spirit and her career.” RIP.
