The body of 69-year-old Linda Tunis was found at her home in Santa Rosa, her daughter, Jessica Tunis, wrote on Facebook late Wednesday. Linda Tunis called her daughter as flames from the Tubbs fire burned her home Monday and said, “I’m going to die” before the phone went dead, the Associated Press reported.

The Atlas fire killed an elderly couple in their home in Napa, near the Silverado golf course, over the weekend. The Napa County Sheriff’s-Coroner’s Office on Tuesday confirmed the deaths of Charles Rippey, 100, and his wife, Sara Rippey, 98.

Charles Rippey was a World War II veteran, and the couple had recently celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary, according to the Napa Valley Register.
