I can't tell with certainty but it looks like White Baneberry or Red Baneberry. Here's a link to more information so you can take a closer look: https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/white-baneberry

Thanks for your quick assessment! Now I’ll ask our neighbor, who I’m helping, if she wants it removed.

Brian, I have a second opinion on that plant. It could be a Virginia waterleaf, a native wildflower and great for pollinators.
Compare and see what you think.
