that's too bad... she was always very nice and would smile when I use to run in that area - she seemed like a very nice woman

This is very sad to hear.

I found her obituary online:

I heard she died a week ago from lung cancer.

My kids go to OLC, and we saw her all the time. When did she die? She wasn't old.

Very sad.

I was sad to see a chalk heart drawn on the sidewalk at the corner of Grand and Marin this morning announcing the death of Sue, the crossing guard who patrolled the intersection for years. She always started my morning off on a positive note and I will miss her dearly on my morning commute. Does anyone know what happened?
