Death and legacy JoAnna Lund died of inflammatory breast cancer on May 20, 2006, aged 61. She had given control of Healthy Exchanges to friends and family, and had asked that it continue after her death through books and the newsletter, stating, “ I have enough recipes created, but not shared, to last for 20 more years - if not longer.” Additionally, Lund made a final request of her readers: “Every day you rise to face another tomorrow, I want you to think of me and recite one of my favorites, Psalms (118:24). ‘This is the day the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!’”
