Susan Glynn, praised as a tireless warrior and advocate for ovarian cancer awareness, has died.

Glynn passed away Tuesday while in palliative care at the Miller Centre.

She was 55.

Glynn took it upon herself to educate women about the subtle signs of ovarian cancer, often called the silent killer, even as she waged her own six-year battle with the disease.

She, along with Dr. Cathy Popadiuk, created a poster outlining the symptoms of ovarian cancer which was translated into 12 languages and distributed around the world.

Glynn also launched Women of Hope Ovarian Cancer NL and brought awareness to some of the early signs of ovarian cancer, referred to as the four Bs: bloating, bladder, bowel and blah.

Women of Hope Ovarian Cancer NL and its sister group Friends of Hope NL have more than 3,000 followers worldwide.

Glynn was known for her art and as a public speaker. She also participated in rowing, nine Tely 10 races, and a Cape to Cabot race.

According to her obituary, a celebration of her life will be held at a later date due to COVID-19.
