Erm, Tolkien didn't ever state my theory, but:

I always thought she didn't age, or get sick, or anything of that nature, but stayed "Elf-like" (remember, all the inhabitants of Gondor said she was the fairest creature they'd ever laid eyes on- I doubt they'd say that if she suddenly turned into a two hundred year old hag.) until her death. It was always my impression she did not turn mortal, but instead decided that she would die with Aragorn, and not live on, even in ME and certinly not in Valinor. However, this is just me, and I cannot claim to have Tolkien's quotes to back up my theory. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
