I'm surprised that this has not been mentioned here:

People have been focused on the NH flyby.
The picture on the Rosetta site of her is misleading, it looks nothing like what she did when she gave a Rosetta presentation.
May she rest in peace.

I saw the Rosetta mission documentary on National Geographic the other day, I saw her in that documentary serveral times. A couple of days before that I read on Emily Lakdawalla's twitter feed that she had passed away.
Rest in peace.

And Rosetta tributes to departed colleagues:

It is an interesting fact that it was a movie that inspired her to come to this field. In a NASA interview, she said the film Fantasia ignited her passion for other worlds at a very young age.
She said the movie “opened an imaginative pathway of wonder for me about worlds other than Earth — primitive worlds — and how huge geologic forces can impact life forms there.”
