Margarita Stāraste-Bordevīka RIIP: Order of the 3 Stār-aster

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under February 18:

Margarita Stāraste-Bordevīka, 100, Russian-born Latvian author of children's books

The twin "00" in her age at death is an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster and although not enough in itself to indicate that her death was "timely", it's enough to warrant further investigation.  Note from her wiki page:

Margarita Stāraste-Bordevīka ( 2 February 1914 – 18 February 2014) 

Note the following information in regards to her date of birth:

February 2 -is the 33rd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.There are 332 days remaining until the end of the year (333 in leap years).

Since 1914 was not a leap year, she was born on the 33rd day with 332 days remaining, hence another addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from the 33rd day with 333 remaining.    This is particularly meaningful considering this excerpt from my first post made today:

Note the following from the authors wiki page:

Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" 

Note the following regarding his day of death:

November 28 -is the 332nd day of the year (333rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 33 days remaining until the end of the year. 

As you can see, the opposite end of the spectrum occurred insofar as the dates go.  We are definitely experiencing a long a run of "3's".  Note this next excerpt from Margarita's wiki page:

Margarita Stāraste-Bordevīka was 7 April 1999 awarded the title as Commander of the Order of the Three Stars.^[6]

Order of the "Three" Stars!!
