Read MoreI am so sorry to hear of Marty's passing. I am also a Cancer Registrar in the Sandusky, Ohio area. This is how I first met Marty. I just want her family to know it was my honor to have known Marty professionally and personally. She was always so upbeat and fun to be around. I admired the strength and courage she had. She will be sadly missed by everyone. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of her family.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am a Cancer Registrar and that's how I knew Marty. She was an amazing person. I had heard her speak at the Ohio Cancer Registrar meeting. She had a wonderful outlook on life and was a very strong individual. I have not seen her recently but have been so blessed that our paths had crossed.

Denny and family,
I am saddened by Marty's passing. We shared four wonderful years together at McAuley especially FBLA and drama. What a sweet and dear friend she was. I am not surprised that she made such a terrific impact on all she met as she went through life. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May she rest in peace, her battle is over.

My heart goes out to the Beck family. Megan was my friend in junior high and high school and I know how devoted her mother was to her, especially during Megan's battle with cancer. I had no idea that Megan's mother was battling cancer as well...what an amazing woman to be so strong for her daughter and after Megan's passing despite her own struggle! I can only hope that her family finds comfort and peace knowing that she is finally reunited with Megan.

I am so sorry for the entire Beck family. My prayers are with you. I attended McAuley and graduated in 1964. I remember Marty as always having a smile on her face. Everyone at McAuley was always uplifted by her spirit.
May she rest in peace with our Lord. May you find peace in how she lived her life on earth.
