According to experts, screening for colon cancer should begin at age 40 or ten years before to a family member’s diagnosis. Screening is now advised for the general public between the ages of 45 and 75.
After a remarkable eight-year battle with stage four colon cancer that spread to her liver, Comer passed away on April 11, 2025, at the age of 55.
Her mother, Jean Comer, her four cherished sisters, Lee, Jeannie, Corinne, and Krista Comer, her husband, Mark, his daughter, Georgia, and her daughter, Olivia, all survive her.
That she “wished to be remembered as a changemaker – someone who gave generously of her heart, spirit, and time” is what her obituary says.
“Her legacy lives on in every life she touched and in the beauty she brought to the world, whether through a warm embrace, a shared meal, or a life lived with intention,” they continued.
On May 3, a memorial service was conducted in San Francisco. Additionally, a GoFundMe was created to help her daughter.
We are thinking of Comer’s family.
