Fox 17 News has learned there actually may be a 5th meningitis victim in Tennessee.
Friends and family of 80 year old Reba Temple say she died of the fungal meningitis Saturday.
Officially the State is not listing Temple as an outbreak fatality just yet but that could change.
Friends like Shane Willis say the Hickman County woman was an avid churchgoer at the Centerville Church of Christ who was born and raised in the area.
"She grew up in Hickman County. She took a lot of pride in saying I'm from Hickman County."
Friends affectionately called Temple Ms. Reba.
They say even at 80 years old she was in good health.
That changed after she got the steroid injection to deal with back pain.
"It was a shock to everybody that number one she was in the hospital and number two the passing of her life," said Willis.
Reba Temple was buried Monday morning.
She leaves behind a son and a granddaughter.

Tenn. Powerball ticket worth $1 million
May 19, 2013 18:44 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Powerball ticket sold in Tennessee barely missed winning a share of an estimated $590.5 million prize. But the ticket has a nice consolation prize worth $1 million.
Officials say the Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Chattanooga.
There's no word yet on who won.
A Powerball ticket sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., matched all six numbers selected Saturday night for the estimated $590.5 million prize. It's the highest Powerball jackpot in history.
The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11.
