Joan Bacci, her husband and children were gathered at Farrell's ice cream parlor near the Executive Airport in Sacramento, California. An air show was going on that September day. At 4:25PM a jet crashed into the ice cream parlor, killing Joan and injuring her husband and children:
"On September 24, 1972, a privately owned Canadair Sabre Mk. 5 jet piloted by Richard Bingham failed to take off while leaving the "Golden West Sport Aviation Air Show" at Sacramento, California's Executive Airport, crashing into a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. Twenty-two people died and twenty-eight were injured. The accident remains the third-deadliest aircraft accident in the United States involving victims on the ground." (Wikipedia)
In 2002 a memorial was erected at that location with the names of the 22 victims of the accident.
