We are sad to announce the death of Susanna Gross, after a long illness.
Susanna was a bridge columnist for the Spectator from 2000 onwards. She represented England, winning the Lady Milne in 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2019, and was part of the Mixed Team at the 2016 World Bridge Games. She won numerous domestic competitions, including the Hubert Phillips Bowl, the Corwen Trophy, the Easter Congress Guardian Trophy, the teams event at the London Year End Congress and the Whitelaw Cup.
Susanna was born in London and educated at the University of York. She was the literary editor of The Mail on Sunday from 1999 to 2018. She was previously deputy editor of The Week.
We extend our sympathy to Susanna's family and friends.
