Susan McNew was a beloved second-grade schoolteacher who, in the words of her husband, "was taken out of this world by just a sheer act of stupidity."

The 53-year-old mother of two was killed Saturday by a 17-year-old driver who was street racing, according to Folsom police.

McNew, who lived in Shingle Springs, was pulling out of the Folsom Premium Outlets and turning onto Iron Point Road about 2:45 p.m., when a Dodge Stealth slammed broadside into her Toyota Solara, said Officer Michelle Beattie, Folsom police spokeswoman.

The Dodge's driver and the 17-year-old driver of a BMW 5-series vehicle that was racing the Dodge have been arrested. Both boys will be charged with vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving, Beattie said.

Witnesses said the cars reached speeds of 60 to 80 mph in an area with a 45-mph speed limit, and there was heavy weekend traffic, Beattie said.

No drugs or alcohol were involved in the incident, she said.

The drivers' names were not released because they are minors.

"I can't easily convey what an incredibly sweet, generous, patient and kind woman my wife was," Dawson McNew said Sunday in a telephone interview.

"Loving her family and her dogs" was her favorite pastime, he said.

"I don't know how to live without her," McNew said.

They celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary on Dec. 26, he added.

The couple's daughter Kelly, 20, is in college, and their son Tim, 23, is enrolled in paramedic training.

McNew said his wife was an active member of the congregation at Faith Episcopal Church in Cameron Park.

Susan McNew taught second grade in the Buckeye Union School District for 29 years, the last 19 years at Blue Oak Elementary School in Cameron Park.

"It is a shock to all of us," Blue Oak Principal Tom Bryden said Sunday in a telephone interview. "Sue was a wonderful person and an excellent teacher.

"She has touched the lives of hundreds of children and parents. We will miss her very much."

Bryden said he will meet today -- a school holiday -- with staff and faculty "to deal with this tragedy as Sue's extended family."

On Tuesday, he said, "we will pull in all district psychologists and counselors" and offer grief counseling to the students.

"We will also just be there to listen," he said.

"It's even more difficult when it's so sudden and so senseless," Bryden said.

He described Susan McNew as "one of those people who was very coolheaded. She didn't fluster. She worked calmly through problems."

"Now," Bryden added, "the school, the community and her family have to work through her being gone."

You are right, if you want to race, do it on a track or on the nurburgring or a place where is no one. I know it's hard, but my wife ended already in a 8 ft deep waterditch head down, so I've learned my lesson well.
