Morjorie Newlin died! (86 yo bodybuilder)

[jonahnah]

There was a recent post about her. She'd been featured on Tyra and many other programs. This is the woman that started wt training at 72 and then began competing at 78. She looked incredible and was such an inspiration. Here's a link to her obituary.

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.

Oh, how sad! What an amazing woman, though! (This is the first I've heard of her).

WOW!! I just read about her about two months ago. She was such an awesome person and so inspirational. I was shocked to see that she died. Even though I know she was 86. She looked absolutely AWESOME! I see from her obituary that she had gotten leukemia.

I will never forget her story that is for sure!

How sad! I wonder if she died of Leukemia since the obit said to send donation to the Leukemia society in lieu of flowers.

RIP.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Another great one (still alive) Kelly Nelson. I admire them for giving women the knowledge and courage to be healthy and for coming forward and showing us that it is not impossible to look great at any age.

She will be missed.

The idea is to die young as late as possible
