The resolution honors the memory of Denise Elaine Marshall, who passed away on December 15, 2024, at the age of 63. Born in Piqua, Ohio, on August 9, 1961, Denise dedicated over 30 years to her career as an x-ray technician and mammographer. Despite being diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in 2014 and facing significant health challenges, she demonstrated remarkable resilience, living for another decade while advocating for lung cancer awareness and research funding.
