Woman killed by hit-and-run driver was bride in fairy tale skid row marriage
LOS ANGELES - Cynthia Szukala endured hardship and homelessness before she was killed by a hit-and-run driver. But family and friends say her life was defined more by a bright outlook and generosity.
The 69-year-old also achieved brief notoriety as a skid row bride.
Szukala died when a tractor-trailer struck her outside her motor home in Boyle Heights. This week, detectives asked for the public's help in finding the driver, who sped from the scene.
"You could give her 20 bucks and she would give it to someone else,"
