I am very sorry to hear this. I've been trying to get ahold of her for several months, and was unable to. I knew her back in the 90s. She was a quiet woman, smoked like a chimney. We were youngish women in Phnom Penh--she's about a decade younger than I am. I have enjoyed reading her words. Very much so. Very sad to hear she's gone. She was not "mad as a hatter" when I knew her. Nor was she an "old hag." She was an independent thinker, a bit of a loner, a writer. We were at Tim's funeral together, I think. Tim owned "The Duck Club" back in the day--a place right next to the Heart. Condolences.
Her birthday was 1969, not 1968.
And to those asking, she died of a stroke. Specifically a intracerebral hemorrhage that triggered a stroke, most likely caused by the discontinuation and sudden restart of her medication.
Her life post Cambodia consisted of overcoming trauma, PTSD and Depression. To those who say she was an alcoholic, it was simply a coping mechanism for all of the weight she bore as a highly empathetic person who took on the pain of every fascinating person she met throughout her career.
Thank you for informing everyone of her passing, and I hope everyone is aware that she was much more than what was seen on the surface. She fought hard, and her death was a shock to everyone. She loved Cambodia very much, and that's truly where her heart always was, even when she was here in Australia.
Please be kind to her memory.

She will always be tucked into a special corner of my heart and memory. Intelligent and analytic, and pretty rare to find one like her who stayed and stayed in Cambodia. Women expats don't always stay as long--and she was there a long, long time.

I met her as soon as I first came here. I can't lie and say I ever liked her but I hope she rests in peace. And her monkey.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I met her at the Rising Sun one morning many years ago. She was working for Galloway then I think. She seemed fine to me.
RIP
RIP
Totally sorry to hear that. I always hoped I might see her again one day.
What is AG up to these days ?
