Journalist and podcaster Megyn Kelly revealed that her sister, Suzanne Crossley, died of a heart attack last Friday at the age of 58.
In an emotional tribute to her sister, Kelly said Crossley had suffered from deteriorating health and died suddenly and unexpectedly. Kelly plans to attend her funeral in New York on Tuesday and already has her show for that day taped.

“Something really sad happened in my family over the weekend. My sister died. She was 58. Her name was Suzanne Crossley and she died suddenly on Friday of a heart attack,” Kelly said. “It was really hard, it was extremely emotional. My poor mom, as all moms and dads out there know, this is not the order this is supposed to happen.”
Crossley’s father, Edward, has already died, but her mother, Linda Kelly, was still alive, according to her obituary. Crossley is survived by her mother, Megyn Kelly, her brother Peter Kelly, brother Paul Kirwan, as well as her children, Christopher Crossley, Brian Crossley, and Emily Crossley. She also had a grandson, Brom Crossley.
Megyn Kelly said her sister’s tragic death was a “reminder to hug the people that you love.” She detailed her struggles with taping her podcast, titled the Megyn Kelly Show, on Monday, and underscored the need to shoot friends and family text messages to stay in touch.
Megyn Kelly noted that she’s not “very good” at spontaneous overtures to stay in touch with people and argued that it’s important not to fret over the things in life that don’t matter.
“So it’s a big reminder to me at how fleeting things can be and how we get upset over s*** that doesn’t matter,” Megyn Kelly said.
Upon learning about her sister’s death, Megyn Kelly says she visited her mother and siblings.
“[Suzanne Crossley] hasn’t been in very good health over the past couple of years. Sort of one problem after another. It was sudden and unexpected. Got news after the show, and went right up and was there with my mom, my brother Paul, and my nephew Brian, one of her three kids,” Megyn Kelly added.

The obituary described Suzanne Crossley as “extremely creative” and noted that she “enjoyed arts and crafts and any game with family.” Instead of flowers, her family is asking for individuals to honor her by making Christmas tree ornaments or donating to charity.
