The New York Times offers an obituary. Until I read it, I did not realize that Bill McBride, not Tanta, was the main blogger at Calculated Risk.
In July, I made extensive comments on one of her posts. She had an unusual combination of mortgage domain expertise and expressive wit. I am sorry that we never met. She still had a lot to teach the rest of us. I will miss her.

This sucks. I was wondering why she had stopped writing recently. I’m glad she had the holiday to be with her family.
Here’s one of my recent favorites I got from reading through her archives a few weeks ago:

She epitomized the “geeks” you like to reference. RIP Tanta.

Aside from being a super brilliant mortgage “geek”, Tanta also epitomized honesty and integrity for me. She will be missed.
