Susan Monahan: Who is She and Whats Her Story?

Alright, let’s talk about this Susan Monahan woman. I heard some things, you know, the kind of stuff people gossip about over the fence. Don’t you go tellin’ anyone I told ya, ya hear?

So, this Susan, she’s hitched to some big-shot lawyer, Jay Monahan was his name. Lawyer, huh? Sounds like he made a good bit of money. They got themselves two girls, lucky ducks. But then, wouldn’t ya know it, tragedy strikes. Jay, he gets sick. Real sick. Cancer, they said. Nasty stuff, that cancer. Took him right quick in ’98. Poor Susan, left all alone with them two young’uns. Can you imagine? Having to raise them girls all by herself. Must’ve been tough, real tough.

They say she was strong though. Helped them girls through all that sadness, you know, the grievin’ and all. Mothers, they gotta be strong, ain’t that the truth? Gotta keep goin’ even when you feel like you can’t. I reckon she did alright by them girls.

Now, where they live? Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, that’s what I heard. Fancy place, I bet. Near that golf course, where them fellas hit that little white ball all day. PGA Tour somethin’ or other, they call it. Big deal, I guess. Her husband, he was involved in that golf stuff, I think. Kept to himself, though. Private fella, they say. Didn’t like folks pokin’ around in his business. Can’t say I blame him.

They got two daughters.
Lived in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Jay worked in the golf world, PGA Tour.
He died in 1998 from cancer.
Susan raised the girls alone after that.

I tried lookin’ her up on that Facebook thingamajig. You know, the one where everyone puts their whole life on display? Found a few Susan Monahans, but who knows if it’s the right one? One of ’em had a picture, but it was so small, I couldn’t tell if it was her. Said somethin’ about bein’ honored for “Women with Heart” in 2022. Sounds nice, right? Guess she’s a good person, doin’ good things.

Some other Susan, she didn’t have much on there. Just a few followers, not many pictures. Maybe she’s not one for all that online stuff. Me neither, to be honest. Too much fuss, if you ask me. I’d rather just sit on the porch and watch the birds.

Anyway, this Susan seems like a regular woman, even if she did marry a fancy lawyer and live in a fancy place. She went through some tough times, losin’ her husband like that. But she kept on keepin’ on, raisin’ them girls and doin’ her thing. That’s all any of us can do, ain’t it? Just keep on keepin’ on.

So, that’s the story, as far as I know it. Like I said, don’t you go spreadin’ this around. I don’t want folks thinkin’ I’m some kinda busybody. Just sharin’ a bit of news, that’s all. Now, you run along and let me get back to my business.

And remember, family’s important. Susan, she knows that. She lost her husband, but she still had them girls. That’s what matters in the end, ain’t it? Family.

One more thing, they keep things real hush-hush about their private life. Guess that’s how them rich folks do things, eh? Keepin’ to themselves, not lettin’ everyone know their business. Can’t say I blame ’em. Sometimes it’s better that way.

Alright, I’m done talkin’ now. You got what you needed? Good. Now, you go on and have a good day, ya hear? And don’t forget what I told ya about keepin’ secrets.
