We at PJ Media were saddened to learn that the daughter of Victor Davis Hanson, author, educator, and PJ Media columnist, died on November 13 after a short illness.
Susannah Merry Hanson was 27.
In a beautiful, moving tribute to his daughter, Dr. Hanson tells us of Susannah’s marvelous gifts:
Susannah, known to her family and friends as “Suzy,” was beloved by anyone who encountered her infectious laugh and her zeal for life and adventure. But she was perhaps best known for the human kindness she extended to everyone she met. She was especially drawn to the sick and elderly, which reflected her sense of public service. On the European trips she ensured that no tour member was ever left alone or without companionship.
Her family and friends feel blessed that even for such a brief time that they were able to be with such a kind soul and accomplished talent. She grew up packing fruit and working in the fields of the family farm, a childhood that fostered a singular work ethic, gave her a sense of independence and fearlessness, and grounded her in reality and modesty wherever she worked and traveled. She loved the San Joaquin Valley, and despite her residence and visits abroad, she always managed to return to the farm, where she felt most at home with her family and childhood friends.
Please keep our friend and colleague, Victor Davis Hanson, in your thoughts and prayers
RIP. Prayers for the Hanson family.
Thanks PROCON.
How sad. Prayer up.
Prayers up for the whole family.
Possibly leukemia. (The family asked donations to Leukemia organization.)
My brother had a type of leukemia, lived normally for 8 years and then; BOOM he hit the blast phase and was dead in about 9 weeks.
prayers up! VDH is the best so his daughter was the same. What a short life.

How sad. Farmers suffer elevated rates of L&L due to their exposure to pesticides and herbicides.
Love your FReeper handle. Reminds me of Braveheart and when they flipped the kilts
:~p
Prayers up!
Prayers lifted for and condolences to Dr. Hanson and his family. May his daughter rest in God’s peace.
I join in earnest prayer for the Hanson family, God’s peace, love and guidance as they deal with her homegoing.
I just learned of this while perusing his articles on FR.
Just awful. Yet, with the certainty they’ll meet again in the presence of God, makes such matters bearable.
Susannah Merry Hanson, RIP.
