She noted that she would need to rely on her wheelchair longer than anticipated while recovering. She was hospitalized in Florida on July 2 due to a recurrence of extreme pain. She underwent a series of tests and examinations while in intensive care, and was later transferred to a private room. In a Facebook post, she speculated that her symptoms might be related to the fracture.[60] On July 4, she reported feeling much better after a good night. Francis died on July 16, 2025, aged 87, with her death confirmed by longtime friend Ron Roberts the following day.[61]
