Ora Mae Magouirk, the 81-year-old Georgia widow at the center of a contentious family fight over her medical treatment and right to live, (link broken in original) died of a stroke today at approximately 8 a.m. Eastern, at a nursing home in LaGrange, Ga., according to her nephew, Ken Mullinax of Birmingham, Ala.

Mullinax told WorldNetDaily that his aunt's condition had improved considerably since her ordeal last month, but took a turn for the worst Wednesday when her vital signs began to weaken. On Sunday an apparent stroke hit her, causing her to have difficulty with speaking, and her blood pressure dropped to 60/30.

She died surrounded by family, including her brother, A.B. McLeod, 65, of Anniston, Ala., who had spent eight hours with her Sunday, Mullinax said.

As a matter of fact, when I read this from work....I called to let them know and they gave thanks for the support.....BTW, the family will be posting another public statement. They asked if I could post it up when they complete it. Like I said...I get a kick out of how mad it makes you guys, can you as an adult not take criticism or feedback? I will not degrade you in anyway except for stating the obvious...i.e. not wanting to search for previous postings and everyone answering your questions that have been answered time and time again....you need to grow up and attend to your own personal life. I bet you find every little subject and post replies like everyone else does , because like now, you are afraid of rejection and confrontation. At least I am my own person:)

What in the world makes you think I'm mad?

I will not degrade you in anyway except for stating the obvious...

Oh really? Shall I take the time to go back through your posts, not only to me but to others on this forum, and itemize with a bullet list all the hysterical insults you have hurled at others without provocation? If you post a thread with your "family update" I will at least be happy to link to your 'user profile' and suggest that others, unfamiliar with you, take a look at how you have acted here. I'm sure that a positive association with you and your attitude will be a thrill to "the family."

I particularly liked this one:

GET A LIFE, CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF PSHYCOTIC LOSERS THAT DON'T HAVE LIVES OR REAL JOBS, SO YOU JUST TRY TO GET UP PROTEST ALL DAY SO YOU CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.

THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO POST A REPLY BECAUSE I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS SITE.

Believe me. You will be "circling the drain" quicker than you might think.

One day you are young it seems, and possibly arrogant, then it seems you wake up one day and the girl at McDonald's gives you the senior citizen's discount without even asking. If you ARE young at this time, be thankful and enjoy it, but cultivate an attitude toward the old that nurtures them, too. I have a cousin who is almost 98 and still enjoys her life.

This lady didn't refuse food from what I've read. It was refused for her because her granddaughter decided she was old and it was "time for her to go be with Jesus". Jesus decides that, not relatives who appear eager for Granny to get out of the way of "their" inheritance.

You've read the WND accounts and blogsforterri? And you're assuming they are the gospel truth, right?

Would it surprise you to know that Mae never had a feeding tube? There was no tube to "yank". Did you notice that when they flew Mae to Alabama for treatment, the University hospital never inserted a feeding tube? I guess Ken failed to mention that in his whirlwind media tour. I guess the blogs also failed to mention that the Hospital and the Hospice completely deny the nephew's version of "facts". But of course, to the conspiracy minded, they're all in cahoots to kill off poor Antie Mae.

What other accounts are there? Do you have any other public statements concerning this story you can show us?

[LaGrangeResident]

THAT WAS A STATMENT STATING THE OBVIOUS....WHEN YOU ARE A CULT AND HAVE NO OPINION VARYING FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE AND ALL YOU DO IS THRIVE ON DRAMA...I THINK THAT IS SLIGHTLY PSYCHOTIC. Once again I am laughing because apparently if you met your wife online...you are a PROFESSIONAL POSTER...LOL. So it is evident that I am fighting a losing battle with you, I don't give a darn what your opinion is. If anyone wants to hear the true stories...they can read my postings and see that MR. MULLINAX HAS NOT POSTED IN HIS OWN DEFENSE SINCE THE REASONING BEHIND HIS ACTIONS HAS CAME OUT. BTW THERE HAVE BEEN LINKS TO OTHER ARTICLES....BUT ONCE AGAIN YOU JUST WANT SOMEONE TO SEARCH FOR YOU.....QUIT BEING LAZY AND DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF...OPPS I FORGOT YOU KNOW THE STORY FRONT TO BACK BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE A LYING THEIF....LOL.

Could you please differentiate between your statements and the Gaddy family members' statements in post #46? It's all written so poorly it's hard to tell the difference.

[TigersEye]

You are lazy, rude, arrogant and ignorant.

Firstly you consistently violate forum rules with your persistent personal attacks.

Secondly it has long been the etiquette of FR to provide sources if asked for them. I do.

If links have been posted on this thread it is easy enough to point me to them instead of heaping on insults and accusations. If you don't know how to post a live link then just refer to the post numbers where you found them. I have read most of this long thread and didn't see them. I doubt they exist.

We all await breathlessly for the "family statement" you promised. (crickets chirping)

[LaGrangeResident]

You are the lazy one come back with something original...how am I lazy....I look for the stuff for you. Quit being a computer nerd...and report me to the admin because I don't care....this is the most retarded thing I have ever tried to argue. Believe what you want, it is your opinion, believe a liar...seems to be what you are good at..lol.

[LaGrangeResident]

lol....lol........lol.........hahahaha:):):):):):):):):)

[LaGrangeResident]

Sorry I am not a regular until this matter came up.....I haven't taken the time to learn how to work the fonting on this site....really don't have the time. If you people would actually read the entire thing slow enough to comprehend, you would see.Normally when you start a new paragraph in English...that usually means that it is on a different subject. I don't care what faults you all try to find in my writings, you two are the only ones trying to degrade people. Usually that means people have low self esteem and people who usually don't fall into that category, fall under the category of .....I try to point out other peoples faults to hide my own. That is more likely in this case. Gosh Tiger Eye...you couldn't find that in any of your books.....LOLOLOLOLOL. You all crack me up with your direct "degrading" remarks!!!! Get a life, or either learn how to see other views, or find a brick wall to argue with, maybe you'll win...LOL!!

[Misty Memory]

Look lady, if you don't like this site, don't come back. You won't be missed. I surely haven't lost any sleep waiting for you to respond to a comment I barely remember making.

[LaGrangeResident]

Let me refresh you.....look up a couple of posts, then read it. I didn't mean to sound so rude, but your comment came off a little harsh, seeing how I have never seen any of your post on this issue. But seeing as how Tiger Eye wants to argue over something so stupid and not knowing any facts and then you jump in with your comment, I get a little hot tempered. Just read back and you will see that, what Tiger Eye has posted is nothing more than rubbish from Mr. Mullinax, whom of which has not came to his defense since Ms. Mae passed, and just to let you know, he never showed up to the funeral or visitation after getting all this stirred up.
