Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.

At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”

Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.

Was she always like this, and getting that pissed stressed her heart, or was she irrational from some health problem that then finished her off? I had a relative with heart problems who had a widowmaker while out in a field getting mad at a stuck tractor. He had been told "you gotta stop taking that tractor out there. it always gets stuck and then you get really mad and you're going to have a heart attack." At least it happened fast, I guess.

So, did she die like she lived (angry, violent), like he did, or is it sadder?

Nope sounds right, sounds like she had heart failure already and this kicked it off. She wanted to go out the way she lived, as a Karen.
