SAN FRANCISCO — Jeanie Poling, a guitarist and singer who spent more than four decades at the center of this city's traditional bluegrass and country circuit, died Aug. 26. She was 67.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported her death on Sept. 10. She died at UCSF Health Stanyan Hospital of pneumonia after what her husband, Chuck Poling, described as a three-and-a-half-year fight with cancer. The Chronicle said she had been treated for two rare cancers since a January 2023 diagnosis and kept playing farmers markets and street fairs in a cowboy hat and boots.

Chuck Poling wrote on Facebook under the heading "MY JEANIE." "She passed away on August 26 from pneumonia after a three-and-a-half-year battle with cancer. She fought the good fight but knew when to throw in the towel."

He thanked people who had reached out to him........
