This "Gofundme" account is being set up to provide financial support to the family of Susan Marlin. Sadly, Susan lost her battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
Susan was diagnosed in 2012 with this horrible cancer.  She fought a courageous battle, enduring both chemotherapy and radiation treatments to shrink the cancer.  These treatments were very hard on her both physically and mentally.  Due to these hardships, and with the blessing of her family, Susan decided it would be best that she medically retire from a job she dearly loved.

Susan worked at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility (CCCF) as a Correctional Landscaper, CCCF was a significant part of her life and a career she absolutely enjoyed.  Susan was sad she had to retire.
 
Although the treatments, along with multiple surgeries (one of which is known as the "Whipple" procedure), were initially effective, she experienced serious setbacks along her journey.  The most impactful setback was the loss of her kidneys, which required ongoing dialysis for the remainder of her life.  Her battle started in 2012 and sadly, ended December 22, 2016.

Susan's family was significantly impacted financially during her long battle.  Insurance helped, but did not cover all the expenses.  Those financial impacts continue with Susan's upcoming funeral.  We are hoping to raise enough money to cover all funeral expenses so Susan's family does not have to worry about any additional financial hardships during this most difficult time.

Thank you to anyone and everyone in advance for your support and positive thoughts for Royce and his family.
We look forward to giving Royce and his family all the support that they need so they can focus on each other.
