Matatandaang kinumpirma ni Senador Grace Poe nitong Biyernes ng gabi ang malungkot na balita sa pagpanaw ng kaniyang adoptive mother.

"With great sadness, we announce the loss of our beloved Jesusa Sonora Poe, whom many of you know as Susan Roces. She passed away peacefully on a Friday evening, May 20, 2022, surrounded by love and warmth, with her daughter Grace, her nephews Joseph and Jeffrey and many of her family and close friends," ani Poe.

"She lived life fully and gracefully. Remember her in her beauty, warmth and kindness. She is now with the Lord and her beloved Ronnie — FPJ. We will miss her sorely but we celebrate a life well lived. Susan Roces — daughter, mother, grandmother, a true Filipina and a national treasure," dagdag pa ng senadora.

Si Susan, 80, ay biyuda ng namayapa na ring King of Philippine Movies na si Fernando Poe Jr.

Kabilang sa napakaraming pelikulang ginawa ni Susan ay ang “Perlas ng Silangan,” kasama si FPJ noong 1969 at “Daigdig Ko'y Ikaw” noong 1965.
