A year after Joslyn Spilsbury’s death outside a Millcreek Starbucks, prosecutors still haven’t decided whether to charge the driver who struck her

A family loses a loved one who happened to be a grief counselor. Now the family is left to grapple with her death without the advice they all desperately need.

Joslyn Spilsbury had given them guidance for coping with loss for years, and they cherish it, but they’d rather have her.

Spilsbury, 48, was killed on a sunny day last June as she drank coffee with friends at a table outside a Millcreek Starbucks store. Salt Lake County prosecutors — now one year later — still haven’t decided whether or not to charge the driver of the truck that struck and killed Spilsbury and injured her friends.
