What does " A force of nature, undone by nature." mean in the following paragraph?
This is about Dell's mother who died of cancer.

The good thing, if there is a good thing, is that we were all with her in those last few days.
Everybody got to say goodbye, and she told us what to do for the next fifty years. A force of nature, undone by nature.

I am reading Michael Dell's autobiography. Dell is the founder of the world-famous 'Dell Computer Corporation.'
I guess it is a kind of metaphor that I can't understand.

"A force of nature" is a metaphor and a stock phrase for a person or thing whose strength and power are so immense they are irresistable, for example a hurricane, typhoon or tornado. Evidently Mr Dell's mother was a very forceful person.

It's just a colourful way of saying she died.

That's still not the full source. We require the title of the book. This is a legal copyright issue, not just us being fussy.
