Audrey Geisel, the widow of beloved children’s author Dr. Suess, passed away last week in her home in San Diego. After her husband’s death in 1991, Geisel became in charge of his estate and overseeing his legacy. She established Seuss enterprises and oversaw many endeavors including the production of Dr. Seuss’ work into major motion pictures including “The Lorax”, “The Cat in the Hat”, “Horton Hears a Who!”, and “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” Despite her hard work and charitable efforts, Geisel’s name on Wikipedia only redirects to her husband’s page.
