RIP: Charleston City Paper Columnist Alison Piepmeier
Journalist, professor and author of viral column "Thank You for My Beautiful Life" was 43.
Under the headline “Thank You for My Beautiful Life,” Alison Piepmeier led off her July 20 Charleston City Paper piece with a clear sense that the end was near. She had been battling brain cancer since 2009:
What does it mean when the rest of your life may be measured in weeks? My brain tumor is growing. I am in hospice care. I am surrounded, constantly, by family and friends.
Some three weeks after these words were published, Piepmeier passed away.
