I was Googling to confirm that my aunt still lives in the same place as she did two years ago, so I could mail her holiday card, when I found this cite to the NY Times. I know we have an uncommunicative family, but as far as I recall even my parents didn't tell me this. Note the date. Susan was my cousin. (Calling her "Mrs. Brewster" is incorrect: she was Ms. Brewster or Mrs. Eisenmann.)
Susan Brewster, 41; Helped to Stabilize Yonkers's Finances
Published: May 2, 1992
Susan N. Brewster, the executive director of the State Financial Control Board for the City of Yonkers for the last six years, died on Tuesday at the Westchester County Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y. She was 41 years old and lived in Ossining.
She died of complications of leukemia, her husband, Charles Eisenmann, said.
Mrs. Brewster helped stabilize Yonkers's municipal finances during a period of budgetary strain and turbulence over millions of dollars in fines that a Federal judge threatened to impose on the city to pressure compliance on housing desegregation.
ETA: My mother was DREADFUL about correspondence. She was not close to her family, and set me a bad example. Not hostile, more like oblivious. Anyway, Aunt Barbara (my father's brother's widow) came to Mother's funeral in '06 and didn't mention Susan's death, presumably because she didn't want to interfere in my own processing. I reckon it's time for another spate of genealogical research on my part, quick, while Aunt Barbara's still around.
