Sir Stirling Moss' widow Lady Susie Moss, has sadly passed away, aged 69. 

Susie and Stirling married in 1980 and share a child together, Elliot. Susie was the driving force behind keeping Moss' career going after his awful 1962 crash. They ran a property business together around London and did public appearances at motoring events.

As Stirling began to struggle with memory loss due to the injuries sustained during his crash, Susie was by his side to help fill in any gaps whilst doing public speaking. She also cared for Stirling as he deteriorated ahead of his passing in 2020.

Susie Moss was often seen alongside her late husband, Sir Stirling Moss, in the racing World. However, she has not been as involved since his passing in 2020.

The last public event Susie took part in was the tribute for her husband at Goodwood Motor Circuit in 2022, part of which featured her being driven around the iconic track by the Duke of Richmond. 

The motoring World will be mourning the loss of such a power-house of a woman in the industry and all of our thoughts are with her family and friends. 

As the news is breaking, people are taking to social media to pay their respects. F1 journalist, Matt Bishop, posted to Twitter:

"I’m saddened by the news of the passing of Susie Moss, wife of Stirling Moss for the last 40 years of his life. They were a beautiful, kind, generous & inseparable couple. This pic, taken by David Crump, captures those qualities very well I think."

Owner of Lister Cars, Lawrence Whittaker also posted a tribute, writing:

"So sad to hear that Lady Susie Moss, wife of the late Stirling Moss, has died today. She was one of the nicest, kindest, ladies I’ve ever met. RIP Susie. Gone far too soon"

The Intercooler has written: 

"It is with immense sadness that we learned of the passing of Lady Susie Moss. Stirling’s wife, best friend, manager and agent, he was her life and vice-versa. She also lit up every room she entered. Our sincere condolences to their son Elliot and the wider Moss family."

PaddlUp, a supercar dealer, posted to Twitter:

"Very sad to hear of the passing of Lady Susie Moss. RIP, may you be together smiling again."
