According to Kurt Koopmann with the City of Galveston, Susan Farb Morris died after falling from a collapsed balcony.
Koopmann says deputies were called around 2:15 p.m. Friday by someone who reported that two people had been injured after a balcony collapsed in the 19070 block of Kahala Drive.
Morris was injured after the collapse. She was taken to the hospital where she later died.
Her family announced her death on Facebook following the incident.
The post is filled with comments from people expressing their love and admiration for the lady known as Houston’s PR Fairy.
“Her memory will be a blessing.”
“Oh no! I’m so very saddened by this news. Susan is such an incredible, kind and caring person.”
“This is such sad news. I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with all of her family and friends. Birthdays will not be the same without her and she will truly be missed.”
“I’m heartbroken at this news. I deeply admired Susan. Sending condolences to her family and many friends.”
Click2Houston also wrote a story from Morris where she told us how she was driving home from an appointment when she spotted a house with something special that brought her a big smile. Mask-wearing, bear-shaped topiaries!
She was also featured on an episode of Khambrel Marshall’s Newsmakers.

Funeral services for Morris were held on Monday, June 17 at the Barish Sanctuary at Congregation Emanu El.
Inspectors are headed to the home Tuesday morning to investigate the balcony collapse.
Additionally, Koopmann says there were no permits pulled so there was no reason for the city to inspect the property; it is private property.
