As confirmed to the Chronicle by family member Amanda Garber, Pierce passed away on Friday, Dec. 2 at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. She was beginning treatment for lung cancer, which she had been diagnosed with less than two months ago. Pierce lived in South Austin with her husband Guy Juke. Alongside Juke, she is survived by her daughter Elyse Yates, son-in-law Dan Yates, and granddaughters Riane and Ellery Yates.
Among her many impressive achievements as an artist, Pierce may have pulled off her most unlikely one at the 1992 Austin Music Awards, where she won Best Album and Best Songwriter without having ever officially recorded a single song.
