Sept 11, 1971--Albertville, Al (birthplace).
The first thing I see, checking the transits, is
transiting Saturn square natal MC 39' (using noon as a convenient time of day). This is the main transit for the event, and quite fitting for what you have described.
Transiting Jupiter also is sesqui-square your Pluto (26'). I won't venture a guess on what this meant. Often these events are separative, but usually with a clear "silver lining" which it does not seem was evident in your event.
For a sudden, hard blow and shock for the day,
transiting Mars is octile natal Uranus and Sun (and at their midpoint). As a minor detail, transiting Moon crossed your MC.
The big message, though, is Saturn square MC with the very short-term Mars to natal Sun-Uranus (and an uncertainty about Jupiter to natal Pluto).
-----------------------------
Secondary Progressions are fitting though not gigantic. Progressed Mercury squared your Pluto. Progressed (primary) Ascendant conjoined your Moon. Accurate so far as they go.
----------------------------
Similarly, Solar Arcs show a really bad thing happening, but don't (at least on first inspection) tell much more: directed Mars conjoined natal Saturn (37'). Oh, but since y9u have a natal Moon-Mars octile, this also means that directed Moon was octile your Saturn, and it was close! 0°05' - This is quite a good showing for astrology. (It's hard to imagine anything more descriptive of "death of a sister" than Moon-Saturn with accompanying mean, bad aspects.)
------------------------------
Your solar return has natal Mars on the degree of MC, but I don't think we can read the event from that. But in the "partile, non-foreground" category, transiting Pluto was 0°03' from conjunct your Sun, saying this was a year that was going to fundamentally alter your identity and the course of your life. (Pluto to your Uranus was 0°47'.) Also in the SSR, transiting Saturn was 0°04' from natal Descendant. I think the message of loss was quite clear.
---------------------------------
Your Sidereal Lunar Return was emotionally horrible. Saturn at MC opposite Moon on IC, both square Sun-Venus on EP. Venus-Saturn was 0°11', Sun-Saturn 0°39'.
11°09' Leo - t Sun
11°26' Leo - SLR EP
11°37' Leo - t Venus
11°48' Tau - t Saturn
14°56' Tau - SLR MC
15°22' Sco - t Moon
16°50' Leo - SLR Asc
Your Demi-SLR on the day or her death was less obvious. I'll leave you to look at it if you want and sort through all the complexities.
------------------------------------
Your August 10 Ennead had natal Saturn about a degree from Asc with a Sun-Mars opposition across the horizon atop your Pluto and Saturn (minutes from Sa/Pl midpoint).
Your September 10 Decilium is more complicated - I'll let you draw your own conclusions on it.
-----------------------------------------
Your Anlunar occurred on the afternoon of September 10 with, among other things, Pluto half a degree from square Ascendant (and a near-partile Moon-Saturn conjunction). Your August 25 Kinetic Lunar Return had Saturn setting about 3° and your Moon exactly rising. Your September 7 Demi-KLR had Uranus and Pluto straddling Descendant, opposite an
exactly rising Moon (don't miss the mundoscope of the 9/7/71 8:23 PM CDT Demi-KLR).
-----------------------------------------------------
Your SNQ was a little wide: Transiting Saturn was 1°47' from Descendant (within 2° but not within 1°). Progressed Moon was on Dsc. Your SNQ only had an angular Mercury - the most nondescript chart in the bunch. Your PSSR (estimated, because I don't have the other software up and running yet) had Ascendant exactly square Pluto.

Rather than thinking that nothing showed this event, I'd say that every basic and Sidereal technique we've ever tried screams the event (except the SQ but, then, you don't need everything <g>). Whether Hades has value or not, it wasn't needed to show this most important event in your life.
