MARION COUNTY -- Brogan Raddish, 14, who enjoyed the support of her community during her long illness, died Monday, Nov. 23.

Raddish contracted Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.

Students from Barrackville Middle School and the Tuscan Sun Spa are just a few of the groups that raised money for her treatments.

Raddish's freshman classmates at Fairmont Senior High School held a moment of silence for her Tuesday morning, and Barrackville Middle School will honor her on Monday.

The family is asking for donations to Make-A-Wish or Timmy's Fund in lieu of flowers. Click below to make a donation.
