Maria von Trapp, the daughter and last surviving member of singers

I just saw this from last month:
(CNN) -- Maria von Trapp, the last of the singing children immortalized in the movie musical "The Sound of Music," died at her Vermont home of natural causes, her half-brother told CNN on Saturday.
The native of Austria was 99 and lived in Stowe. She died Tuesday.
Maria von Trapp was the third-oldest child of Agathe Whitehead and Capt. Georg von Trapp. The couple had seven children: Rupert, Agathe, Maria, Werner, Hedwig, Johanna and Martina.
Georg von Trapp's second wife, Maria Kutschera von Trapp, wrote a book titled "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers," which sparked two German-made movies and "The Sound of Music."
When I was a kid the Sound of Music was my favorite movie. I have the book somewhere. I saw it at a rummage sale a few years ago. I hadn't known it was a book first.

"The Trapps fled Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938 and moved to the United States."
By 2018 their decendants might be fleeing another batch of fascists, that would be ironic.
RIP Maria.
