I believe another report said that she had 3 children.

Well it is more likely your time if you are mowing grass in an active airplane landing strip

Seems someone wasn’t where they were supposed to be. Doesn’t look like this airport has a tower so she likely didn’t hear him coming in.

There’s quite a bit missing from this story. Did she ride onto the runway? Did the plane veer too close to her yard? Was it an “outback” sort of landing strip that needed to be mowed and it was just sort of bad luck/poor timing?

coming in to land on the runway... On final approach, GA planes are at idle, and if one is on a mower with mower engine noise, you won't hear the landing aircraft.
But, this airport is not a grass strip, and in-theory, she was not "mowing" the runway (well, some airports with really crappy runways they *do* have to mow the runway). And, if she was crossing it, must of been trained to always and reflexively look for aircraft.

The pilot descended the plane, landed, and after touching down, officials said he saw Hayes on the lawn mower. According to authorities, the pilot then tried to pull up the plane, but the wing struck Hayes in the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.It sounds as though Ms. Hayes was right next to the runway, but it's possible she was on the pavement.

Mowing that particular lawn, however, increases the odds...

A non-controller tower...so no one to advise pilot of ground traffic.

Very sad for her and her family.
Unfortunately, the ignorant and low intellect comments flocked to the thread. As usual.

Yeah. Final Destination in real life.
Shortly after we moved here to rural kentucky, one of the professors at our local university was driving along the highway while they were mowing the median. The mower threw a large rock, it went through his windshield and killed him.
To this day, whenever I pass mowers I hold up my arm to deflect any rocks. Looks like I need to watch for planes when I’m mowing now.😁
