Composer Shirley Walker dead

Typically when someone in the field of animation passes away myself and many of the cartoon/animation site pick up on it long before the mainstream media does, if the mainstream media cares at all, so I feel kinda bad for not reporting this sooner. Anyway, composer Shirley Walker, who wrote music for cartoon series including Batman: the Animated Series, The Zeta Project and Spawn, as well as the Final Destination film franchise, died of a brain aneurysm on November 29 at the unfortunately early age of 61. Walker wrote scores for both television and film since the late 1970s, including popular primetime soap Falcon Crest and the goofy 1980s Gremlins rip-off, Ghoulies. She was working on the direct-to-video DC: The New Frontier when she passed away.
