Susan Younghusband was 49 years old. She is survived by her two celebrity footballer sons and daughter Keri who is now around the age of 9. Her husband, Philip, died of cancer 8 years ago.

She was a native of Malabon City.

In one of his interviews, Phil Younghusband had said his mother, who admitted that she knew nothing about football, was very supportive of him and his brother James in their career.

"My mom's very supportive. If she can't watch me live, she watches me on telly since my games in Chelsea are televised," Phil told the Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2007. "Even if I knew I had a bad game, she's always like, 'well played, well played,' to give me confidence."
