Susan Barnhardt, 53, of Titusville in Hopewell Township, was among five people who died — not including a baby and toddler who remain missing — in the unprecedented flash floods in Upper Makefield Township on Saturday, July 15. 

Barnhart was a lover of animals who cared for her 80-year-old mother, friends said on a GoFundMe page.

"We've lost our dear friend and neighbor," Sarah Orfe wrote on the GoFundMe page.

 "Susan was an incredibly friendly, kind and generous person, a lover of animals, and she leaves behind, among others, her 80-year-old mother, Pat, who she has been caring for."

Barnhart's death was ruled a drowning, Bucks County Coroner Meredith Buck said in a statement on Monday, July 17. Orte said the money raised would go to Susan's mother, Pat.
