She had been ill for a long time already; Takiko had to tend to her and, unbeknownst to everyone at first, she has also contracted the disease. Her husband Einosuke Okuda was not even there to witness her death.
The few scenes that featured Yoshie showed her as a gentle and kind woman, who loved her daughter very much and was deeply loved back by Takiko. She, however, considered herself a burden on Takiko due to her illness and how Takiko had to constantly keep an eye on her.
