Zomba, Malawi — International Mission Board (IMB) missionary Susan Sanson, 67, died of malaria in Zomba, Malawi, on May 18.
She developed a sudden onset of malaria May 17 and began treatment. However, early the next morning her husband, Billy, woke to find her unresponsive. He rushed her to the hospital, but she passed away as medical staff was examining her.
Kevin Rodgers, an IMB strategy leader in Africa and a friend of the Sansons, said, “Susan was a unique, godly, precious child of the King, and while I know she is in His presence in perfect peace and joy, there is still a great burden of sadness that we will all have to work through in the days to come.”
The Sansons moved to Malawi as IMB missionaries in 2000. Susan Sanson was involved in reaching out to, discipling and counseling university students, and also worked in Baptist churches in Zomba. Billy Sanson is a chaplain and university minister at Chancellor College in Zomba.
