In the accident, Susan hit her head and suffered severe brain trauma. She was on life-support at Scripps Hospital until yesterday, when, following her previously stated wishes, extraordinary measures were removed. Within fifteen minutes thereof, Susan died peacefully.
Susan had been homeless for over 10 years.
The Center for Justice and Social Compassion (CJSC) helped her get her identification documents and many basic services.
Susan received much needed support at Rachel’s Women’s Center.
David Ross, The Waterman, was a dear friend and supporter of “Mo” (Susan’s nickname).
In December 2011, through the efforts of Bob McElroy and the Alpha Project, Susan became a resident of the Winter Shelter.
At that facility, Susan was assisted by many agencies, including Townspeople, Friend to Friend and many more.
Susan had many friends, housed and unhoused, and we will all miss this gentle lady.
We thank everyone who was a part of Susan’s life.
