Desperately Seeking Susieqz

[jeffsmith]

One thing that Internet Forums have Developed is a true sense of Community
This, over the past year, has been Heightened by Distancing

SusieQ, among many others, became a component of our lives
She is as much a part of "us" as a neighbor or other people we know
Despite it just being "Virtual"

While this Searching & Concern Might Seem "Overboard"
I Much prefer to be a part of a group that goes to great lengths to show they care

This morning I did a couple minute google search on "susieqz" "new mexico" (using the quotes).

Susan (in her sig line - same avitar as here) grew fig trees. She was (past tense) a prolific poster on gardening and fig tree forums. She listed in her sig line that she lived outside Tucumcari, NM. IIRC, the name of her favorite fig tree was Chicago - might be a hint.

Tucumcari is only 5,000 people. How many garden centers can there be? How many older women named Susan can there be that live alone on an acarage outside Tucumcari and buy gardening supplies for their fig trees? Maybe call a Tucumcari garden center and talk to the manager.

If you know her actual email address and do the google search using "susieqz" "new mexico" "her actual email" (with the quotes), you'll probably come up with her real name and address with a few minutes searching.

Oh, yeah - we leave lots of electronic breadcrumbs everywhere we go.

As several of you have Susie's last known address, has anyone attempted to send her a USPS registered return receipt requested letter? I believe the USPS will advise the sender of any forwarding. Information.

How do y'all know her real name was even Susie?

Someone had the law do a wellness check at her last known address, I doubt a letter would do any good.

Her name could be anything, and she might be a big fan of this song.

If someone has an account with the background services like Checkmate, we could enter her name and date of birth and may find a new address or names of relatives and their telephone numbers. I don't have her name or other information so I can't check.

 

[sigp220.45]

Maybe just leave her (or him) alone?

This is rapidly approaching creepy.

It's just human nature. Invite people into your life,they get invested and then you vanish. They're gonna worry..

By way of reliable third hand information, Susieqz passed away at her computer. She was found by utility workers.

 

[snowman]

I'm so sorry to hear this; but thank you, Engineer, for informing us.

Very, very sad news.

It's all over, folks

As Engineer1911 posted on the "My Garden is protected" thread:

By way of reliable third hand information, Susieqz passed away at her computer. She was found by utility workers.

No further details are available, nor exactly when this happened but likely last summer, when her posts here and on other forums stopped. She was 73 and had had health problems for some time. A sad and lonely passing for one of our community.

Many thanks to all who contributed.

If anyone has additional information, please share it with a staff members.

I hate hearing about the passing of one of our members. It break my heart. It happens far too frequently here, but that's to be expected in a large community with older members.

Godspeed Susie! I hope the forum brought some joy into your life and we were blessed to have you here.

I also hope that she's OK.
I sort of remember that she told that she lived in a village N of Tucumcari.
At the time of the PMs I had recently driven up that way.
I had actually driven through her 'town' but couldn't remember anything about it!

Depends on your definition of "OK."

So sad........................

 

[Onomea]

Rest in peace, Susieqz.

I think, for a person like her, from what little we know of the circumstances of her death, it was not a bad way to go.

She was a reclusive person, and kept her independence until the end of her life. That she was slumped over at her computer when found, to me indicates that death was unexpected and likely pretty quick. From what we know of her, she would not have been happy stuck in a nursing facility or similar somewhere.

At least that is what I would like to believe.

God rest her soul.

I agree completely with Onomea (very well stated) ......... R.I.P. Susieqz & God Bless

She only ever had kind words for me when we traded comments.

That's how I will remember her.

 

[Iggy]

That is the way she wanted to go.



She researched my ailments and lectured me on taking care of myself, but it was a brick wall when I did the same to her.



I tried over and over to get her to look into a senior facility... NO DICE!

SHE DID IT HER WAY.

 

[Maddog 521]

RIP Susieqz

 

[chuckie]

Sad to hear, R.I.P. Susieqz.

 

[oldbrownhat]

That is the way she wanted to go. SHE DID IT HER WAY.

I hope wherever she is now, she's at peace and has lots of "kitties" to keep her company. Some of hers may not have survived her passing, but I hope Drifter and the others are keeping her company now. They were a big part of her life. Those of us who are "cat" people know only too well the bond that can develop between cats and their devoted- and occasionally exasperated - servants (for such we are.)

May you be surrounded by figs (another passion) and kitties, susieqz

 

[Mule Packer]

Dang...I hate hearing news like that. Even though many of us have never met face-to-face, you have to admit, it's kinda like having extended family here on this forum. And when we hear about our absent comrades, it hurts.

Rest in peace, Susie. You'll definitely be missed
