On what date did Georgia O'Keeffe die?

Georgia O'Keeffe died on March 6, 1986.

She died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the age of 98. O'Keeffe had spent much of her later life in New Mexico, a region whose stark landscapes, architecture, plants, and animal bones became central subjects in her work.

Her death came after a long career that had begun with early academic training and developed through abstraction, enlarged flower paintings, New York subjects, and Southwestern imagery. She continued working into old age, although failing eyesight eventually limited her ability to paint.

O'Keeffe's ashes were scattered over the Cerro Pedernal, a distinctive New Mexico mesa that she had repeatedly painted. This detail is sometimes mixed up with her burial place: she was cremated, and her ashes were scattered rather than placed in a conventional grave.
