The great-granddaughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Desiree S. Anzalone, died Sept. 27 at 31 following a battle with breast cancer.
Anzalone, Ball and Arnaz’s first great-grandchild, had been receiving treatment at Smilow Cancer Center in Connecticut, according to People.
SNIP
Desiree, who worked as a photographer, had battled breast cancer since the age of 25; it was initially diagnosed as stage 2. She elected to undergo a double mastectomy and subsequently went into remission, though two years ago, doctors determined that the cancer had returned, spread elsewhere in her body and progressed to stage 4.

May she rest in peace
Sad....
So young, sad.
Breast cancer is such a horrible disease. So is ovarian cancer.
Poor thing. May she rest in peace.
Every day of your life is precious. God gives us lessons every day, so listen up.
That is so sad, to battle that disease all those years of her young life.
RIP.
I am not saying there is any connection, but Lucy had a cousin named Suzan Ball, also an actress, who died of bone cancer at age 21. She was married to Richard Long of “The Big Valley” and “Nanny and the Professor.”

Oh man, that’s so sad. I can see Lucille in the woman’s face.
Haven’t thought of Lucille Ball & Desi Arnez in a while.
Our sincere compassion for the family.
“Haven’t thought of Lucille Ball”
Not me. I record every movie that pops up on TCM. That woman!
Lord we need a few million just like her.
Ok that sounded a little obsessed.
I didn’t know that about Richard Long. He was either in Westerns or cast as a young John Forthsythe (sp) type.
RIP.
So young.
Sad. A little off topic but watching I Love Lucy and other shows from that era such as Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke Show, Green Acres I can’t believe how funny they were. Other shows that tried to be PC such as MASH not so much.
Too young.
May God rest her immortal soul.
Cancer sucks. Lost my BFF to it. Lost my Dad to it. Lost my Step-Dad to it. Lost my Step-Mom to it. Lost my Uncle to it.
Why can’t we all just grow old, live full, satisfying and loving lives and then die in our sleep? :(
My Mom: “Well, at least we’re all dying in order!’ I guess there’s that. ;)
