She was kept in dry ice, together with [[Marie Phelps-Sweet]] and later also with [[Russ Stanley]], in [[Joseph Klockgether]]'s mortuary.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> [[Robert Nelson]], the president of the Cryonics Society of California, had frozen the three.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> Klockgether was very uncomfortable having the three bodies on his premises.<ref name="Suspension Failures" />

In the spring of 1969, [[Louis Nisco]], who had been cryopreserved by the [[Cryo-Care Equipment Corporation]], and his cryocapsule were shipped to Klockgether’s mortuary.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> Klockgether and Nelson had the capsule cut open, removed Nisco and an interior support, and then put Nisco and the other three back inside.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> The bodies were not deliberately thawed but must have suffered substantial warming, though according to Klockgether they were still frozen.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> Then a welder resealed the capsule, which required a wait of several more hours, and it was refilled with [[liquid nitrogen]].<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> The capsule remained at the mortuary another 14 months, tended by Klockgether, who refilled it periodically.<ref name="Suspension Failures" /> In May 1970, the capsule was shipped to Robert Nelson's facility in Chatsworth.<ref name="Charles Platt">[https://web.archive.org/web/20071022020024/https://www.cryonics.org/immortalist/november05/nelson.htm Robert Nelson and the Chatsworth Scandal].

Kline and the other three in the same capsule were among those who thawed out in the [[Chatsworth incident]].<ref name="Shoffstall p. 190">[https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/90878/SHOFFSTALL-DISSERTATION-2016.pdf Failed Futures, Broken Promises, and the Prospect of Cybernetic Immortality: Toward an Abundant Sociological History of Cryonic Suspension, 1962–1979] (page 190 of the file).
