SAN MARCOS, Texas — Texas State University students, alumni and staff have said goodbye to a legend.
According to the campus paper, "The University Star," Miss Susie passed away over the weekend after she was previously taken off life support and placed in hospice care. A friend of Miss Susie said she died Sunday a little before 7 a.m.
Her family is encouraging donations in her memory to the Hays County Food Bank through the sale of "Viking Goddess" T-shirts.
Students gave Miss Susie the nickname "Viking Goddess" because of her tendency to wear her hair in braids and her sternness for the rules.
Miss Susie, or Susan Mullen, was a San Marcos native who graduated from the university herself. She was a cashier at the dining hall and other spots on campus for more than 10 years.
Many students remember her for her smile and personality.
