Anti-LNG terminal activist dies of lung cancer
In doing research on the planned liquefied natural gas terminal for Sparrows Point and Dundalk, I was planning to contact Sharon Beazley, who as coordinator of the LNG Opposition Team was one of the highest-profile opponents of the terminal. However, the team's lawyer told me last week that she had died. Sympathies to her friends and family. Here is the beginning of the obit from today's edition of The Sun.
Sharon Faye Beazley, a community activist from Dundalk who spearheaded opposition to a proposed liquefied natural gas terminal at Sparrows Point, died of lung cancer Thursday at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium. The Churchville resident was 57.A business owner and former Bethlehem Steel employee, Mrs. Beazley worked tirelessly in the community for decades, most recently leading the charge against the LNG pipeline. She headed an active opposition group and co-chaired a legislative task force created to study the issue.
"My mother always said, 'People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world usually do,'" said Lachelle Beazley-Scarlato, Mrs. Beazley's daughter. "And she did."
