The woman who is believed to have inspired the character of Mama Coco in Disney Pixar’s Coco Maria Salud Ramirez Caballero passed away at the age of 109.

Meanwhile, in Santa Fe de la Laguna Caballero died where she was also born.

Taking to Twitter, Tourism for the Mexican state of Michoacan Roberto Monroy announced Caballero’s death on 16 October.

“I deeply regret the death of Dona Maria Salud Ramirez Caballero, ‘Mama Coco,’ a tireless woman and example of life. Who was the inspiration for this beloved character who went around the world,” Monroy wrote.
