Phoenix court officer Susan Hawkins laid to rest after parking garage death

Since Susan’s death last week, the City of Phoenix says it has made several safety changes to the parking garage where the incident occurred. City officials lowered the speed limit inside the garage to five miles per hour and added new pedestrian crossing signs. The city manager’s office has also formed a parking safety committee to review additional safety measures and employee training moving forward. Outside of her work at the courthouse, Susan was known for her deep love of Arizona history, especially the history of her hometown of Mesa. She volunteered her time at the Mesa Historical Museum, where colleagues say her passion and personality stood out.
