So what happened? It's seldom to hear of someone, in her mid-30s, passing away from natural causes, unless it was a serious illness.

RIP TD. She was a great contributor here. Very sad news indeed.

Does anyone have her phone number by any chance? Or her husband's?
Please call to verify. This could still be one stupid hoax.
She had mentioned being cyber stalked before, and being a trump supporter... maybe her online self has passed?

Orange County is largely Republican. She wasn't sick or anything. Oh Boy.

Could it be one of these Facebook Algo things/Hacks where Facebook is sending out condolence style alerts or what not?
She seemed 110%, talking about meetups and such.

That's my hunch.
I hope so, at least.
I think facebook has been reporting falsely about deaths in major league numbers for a while now, and people have had to literally reach out to heir friends and family to let them know that they are fine.

I cannot believe this. I have her phone number but I dare not call. I hope this is not true. I'm just going to sit tight and hope for the best.
There is ONE visible message of regret posted on her FB page. We are not FB friends so I cannot see anything more.
Sad news. She really was the true gentle woman of this site. I'll really miss her intelligent contribution. Too bad for her kids. It's sad!

Call the number.
I can call, or anyone else you want can call too.
If I suddenly passed, you assholes would throw a party
& troll a dead man.
turtledove would say: "He was OK."

I also say call since even if they don't answer, there might be a mention of this on their VM.

I don't want to call. If this is all true it just makes it worse for the family to have her phone go off every few minutes, and they may not turn it off because it could be someone important. If Quigley and MMR say it is so, I tend to believe it, but I can wait.

What the hell she looked young and healthy, I find this hard to believe.
Orange County is largely Republican.
well, san clemente is, and up the coastline. irvine has turned to the dark side - too many immigrants and university twats.
I was also hoping it was something like that.
we'll never know, the cover would be blown. maybe look for a "Dennis Baughn" type user on the horizon?
i'm gonna go change my pic.... marcus check this out...

Sadly, I have to confirm MMR's news. Her FB account wasn't much used, but her friend has a huge post from yesterday with the news. She leaves behind two 12 year old girls, a husband, and a lot friends who will miss her dearly.
She will also be missed by many on Patnet.
I know I will miss her. 😥
That is very sad. prayers for the family-just very, very sad. Those poor kids-12 years old. The ways of the universe are a mystery to us.

Wouldn't there be more than one condolence on her Facebook page if this were really true?
Wouldn't there be more than one condolence on her Facebook page if this were really true?
The basis isn't the single post on her page but rather her husband emailing me about my personal family issue. He then mentioned that his wife passed away, before I got a chance to reply back to her email

Alright weirdos, Group hug!
HEY! Watch where you put your hands!

No answer. Not good.
Facebook does have a condolence at https://www.facebook.com/susann.sills

Shocking. I hope this is not true.
Normally, I am very detached, but even my wife noticed that I was visibly sad. :-(
Wish I hadn't missed the last meetup when she was in town. She will truly be missed.

Patnet won't be the same without her.
Big loss to the community.
I didn't correspond with her privately that much, but we did share a few emails back and forth. She was a very genuine and generous person.

I just heard some extremely sad news that turtledove passed away recently, quite possibly over weekend. Had been in touch with her regarding a family issue and I got an email from her husband today indicating that she had passed away before I had a chance to reply . I am not privy to any other details.
Was very thoughtful of her husband to contact me, given his level of grief and work responsibilities in light of the bad news. She was a kind generous person who asked her husband to reach out to me on deathbed to meet up and discuss our case with us.
Personally, I'm in shock, as it seems to have happened this past Saturday or Sunday.
