In the summer of 2018, the quiet community of Enola, Pennsylvania, was shaken by the tragic death of Sue Ellen Grundon, a 54-year-old woman. On the evening of July 15th, events unfolded at a residence on Country Club Road that would end in a devastating murder-suicide. Sue was fatally shot by her husband, 55-year-old James Grundon, who then took his own life.
Emergency services were dispatched to the home around 5:00 p.m., where they found a grim scene. While James Grundon was pronounced dead at their home, Sue Ellen Grundon was transported to Holy Spirit Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. The incident was investigated by the East Pennsboro Police and the Cumberland County Coroner's Office. An autopsy for Sue was scheduled for the following Tuesday.
In the aftermath, those who knew Sue remembered her as a friendly and caring person with a big heart who had worked in compensation claims. Information later surfaced suggesting that she had lived in fear due to threats from her husband. Following her death, her family has become involved in fundraising and awareness for victims of domestic violence, honoring her memory by helping others who may be in similar situations. They participate in events to support charities that aid children affected by domestic violence, turning their personal tragedy into a mission to help others.
