LOL I opened this thread just to post a link to the Quanta magazine site. It's a very well done article and applies a great human element to the story. Dementia is one of the few things that scares me.
For an amateur mathematician to do this is, as you say, a surprising feat. I'd go beyond that to add a bunch more superlatives.
It is stories like her story that serve as good reminders that the idea of citizen scientists is healthy and should be encouraged.
I highly recommend the link you provided. It's a bit long but well written.
