<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">Susannah's knack was to convince</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";" lang="EN-GB"> people that they could do things they felt were completely beyond their reach; getting them to try things they didn’t think they had the ability or time to achieve. She came from a line of indomitable women: her aunts were missionaries in Uganda and Nigeria and her Doctor mother had worked in a field hospital in the First World War. The word ‘impossible’ did not feature in her vocabulary. <span> </span>Women, in her view, could and should do anything. To limit perspective or choice was ‘feeble’. If something was worth doing nothing should get in the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";" lang="EN-GB">She brought up 4 sons and about 200 daughters in her 10 years as a housemistress at Lancing. She transformed a personal tragedy into care and inspiration for the Sixth Form girls under her wing. She did not waste a minute of her life. She could be impossible and reckless but she was always hopeful and had the energy and zest of a young woman up to the day of her death, aged 78.</span></p>
