agathe von trapp dies at 97

We're sad to hear this, but she lived a long life.

Agathe Von Trapp, a member of the musical family whose story was adapted into the film The Sound of Music has died at 97-years-old on Thursday after suffering from congestive heart failure.

She was the eldest daughter in the famous family who escaped from Nazi-occupied Austria.

Agathe is survived by four members of the Trapp Family Singers.

Our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
