I did sound for her many times at the Maintenance Shop. She was a class act.

I likewise mixed Koko several times. Yeah, she had a way of taking any song & making it sound it like "Wang Dang Doodle", but somehow she made that work; she was amazing on stage! Plus, offstage she was a truly sweet lady. (And, while I didn't know her until she was in her fifties, I've seen pictures of her in her twenties - what a babe!)
She will be missed.
