Cancer of the spirit for she corrupted the Word of God for her own gain; twisting it to suit her needs. You thought she had it rough here on earth....woooo doggies, not like she has it now!

She died from metastatic colon cancer, where the metastases were in the lungs. This differs from "lung cancer" in that the cells are not, in fact, lung cells, but instead colon cells that have traveled through the blood or lymph streams and found their way to the lungs.. It is a common mistake to associate a cancer in a particular organ as cancer of that organ, but metastasized cancer retains its original cellular identity.
An example is Lance Armstrong, who developed Testicular Cancer. When it spread throughout his body, including to his brain, it remained Testicular Cancer. This was particularly important, because Testicular Cancer responds more readily to treatment than does brain cancer. Hence he pulled through.

Kishimojun is correct.
Started as colon cancer like 10 years ago and spread to her lungs last year or so.

Why does it matter? She died from Cancer. She was a lovely sweet, person and I don't think you would find anyone with a heart for others like she had.. she cared...she never put judgment on anyone that I ever heard. Rest in Peace, Dear Heart...you fought the good fight...those who judge you by your appearance should know that God looks on the heart.
