She couldn’t swim and was very afraid of water. So I imagine she just struggled and flayed about. Sad. Named my daughter after her.

My dad couldn't swim either until my grand dad tossed him in the river. Nowadays they call it child abuse. Back then they called it growing up. He never became a strong swimmer-but he sure could tread water!

A drowning person fights hardest just before they go under for the last time. A tragic ending regardless. Alcohol. Heavy coat. Perhaps head struck. Inability to swim. Many factors in this equation.
