I saw a CHALLENGE on Food Network, Susan O'Boyle Jacobsen of Minnesota won. I wanted to research her on the web today, only to realize she passed away shortly after the filming of the episode in 2006? Heart breaking. Does anyone have any more information about her? I have searched Food network, the web, and CC forum with no luck. Thanks.

I did a search on her found these 2 links.. They are both great links..

Thanks, that was very interesting, and to know that she also "gave back to society."

Susan was a friend and Mentor of mine. I saw her the night before she passed away. I was so honored to have seen her glow and win the challenge. It was heartbreaking to attend her service after such an amazing night. She won the challenge and passed away a day later. She is truly missed by many. It has been two years and I still have not deleted her contact info. It was bitter sweet watching the show tonight.

On another note.....They kept showing her best friend that everyone thought was her husband. Silly FN editing.

I just watched Susan on the Food Channel and was shocked to see that she passed right after her winning. It was great to know her daughter and grandkids were there when she won.

What a loss to the cake world.
