Two cancer survivors will share
their stories of hope at the Noble County Relay For Life, coming up this
weekend at the West Noble High School track and field.
Bev Fitzpatrick, who’s lived in
Noble County for 29 years, will be speaker at the Survivor Ceremony at 5 p.m.
Saturday. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in October, 2011; just a year
earlier, Bev retired from her job as elementary physical education teacher at
East Noble Community Schools. Her husband, John, is a retired principal and
elementary teacher for Central Noble Schools, and they have a son, daughter,
and three grandchildren.
Bev Goss will talk about her battle
with cancer during the Fight Back Ceremony, at 9 p.m. This Bev is owner of Goss
Grocery in Big Lake and a member of the Big Lake Church of God, and has lived
in Noble County for 42 years. After being a nurse for Parkview Hospital for 41
years, she retired in 2012 to enjoy her 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandkids.
Please join us to hear from these
inspiration ladies and fight back against the scourge of cancer. The Noble
County Relay For Life is still looking for donations and help, and everyone is
welcome to attend the event, which lasts from 10 a.m. Saturday, May 18th,
to 10 a.m. the following morning.

That disease is a monster. Every effort made against it is worthy.
