Dinah Cancer

However, due to the success of the LP Autopsy, released in 1987, the band reformed the next year and commenced touring and recording a new album, Only The Good Die Young, released in 1989. The band came to a permanent halt with the death of Rob Graves Ritter in 1991 from a heroin overdose. Cancer remarried briefly and had two daughters named Ilse and Eirika before separating from her second husband.

After her separation from her second husband, Cancer went back to using her birth name, Mary Simms, and focused all her energy on raising her children. She became an early childhood development teacher. During this time her music was featured in the movie "Return of the Living Dead".
