Died July 25, 1981 when her patrol car was rammed from behind by a drunk driver. She stopped a drunk driver at 6300 S. Lewis Avenue. While she was sitting in her car running a records check, another drunk driver drove into the rear of her patrol car. The force of the collision caused the doors of the police car to jam, pinning her in the car. The car then burst into flames.

Not one TPD officer, I believe, doesn't know the story of how this went down.
Hard to believe its been that long.
I can't drive down south Lewis without thinking of her.
I didn't know you personally Sam but you affected my life.
Rest Conrad, job well done.

Fortunately neither if us needed this life Saving technique but I sure felt her spirit protect me while we were stopped!
day. I'll never forget the way I felt when I found out that
she was gone. The Tulsa Police Department lost one of the best female officers to ever serve. I cried for her then, I still grieve for her loss. I know she is heaven having a blast. I miss you Sam
