Sir Stirling Moss’ widow dies aged 69 ‘of a broken heart’ 2 years after death of motor racing legend, sister reveals
SIR Stirling Moss’ widow has died “of a broken heart”, her devastated family has revealed.
Lady Susie Moss’ loved ones shared the tragic news that she has passed away this week – less than three years after the motor racing legend.
She was just 69.
Susie’s older sister Tina told MailOnline: “My beloved sister died of a broken heart.
“She never recovered after Stirling left us. Their marriage was the greatest love story I have ever known.”
The 69-year-old’s death comes less than three years after the British motorsport legend passed away.
Moss died aged 90 in April 2020 with his beloved wife at his bedside after she nursed him through a long illness.
At the time, Susie said: “He died as he lived, looking wonderful. He simply tired in the end and he just closed his beautiful eyes and that was that.”
She added: “It was one lap too many. He just closed his eyes.”
Moss rose to fame after the Second World War and went on to be acclaimed as the greatest all-round racer ever.
Though he famously never won the Formula One title, he finished runner-up four times and came third three times in a career during which he won 16 Grands Prix.
Moss and Susie were married nearly four decades before he died – and few knew the couple would disagree.
The happy couple wed in 1980 and were blessed their son Elliot in the months that followed.
Susie had said in the past that their age gap – of 20 years – didn’t matter.
She lovingly said: “I never thought about it because, to me, he was never old. He was always such fun.”
Moss continued to make headlines in the years after his death after leaving £20million in his will and telling pals to: “Enjoy a few nights out.”
He gave the order among a string of big-hearted legacies to 18 of his nearest and dearest.
