Yeah, the best practices quote is probably best. In the literary community, there has been a lot of sensitivity about how her second book was published in 2015, amidst a bunch of controversy. Its probably best, with this topic, to stick to celebrating her, rather than her works (To Kill a Mockingbird, has also entered political spaces in recent years as well). 

Cheers,

Thanks, Joe. Our best practices would be to do:

Wikipedians are updating the article for Harper Lee, author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," who has died at 89. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harper_Lee

We could stray. Thoughts soon please.
