H.R. No. 1314
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Denise Elaine Marshall of
Cedar Park suffered an immeasurable loss with her death on
December 15, 2024, at the age of 63; and
WHEREAS, The daughter of Ralph Marshall and Waveline Baker
Marshall, Denise Marshall was born in Piqua, Ohio, on August 9,
1961; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Marshall was employed as an x-ray technician and
mammographer for more than three decades; in her free time, she
enjoyed gardening, crocheting, and arts and crafts; and
WHEREAS, In 2014, Ms. Marshall was diagnosed with Stage IV
lung cancer, and she was given less than a 10 percent chance of a
year's survival; she spent 10 months in hospice care during 2016,
but despite the many challenges of her illness, she lived another
decade after her diagnosis, all the while maintaining a positive
outlook; dedicated to helping others as well, she became an
advocate for lung cancer awareness, increased research funding, and
expanded screening for people at high risk; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Marshall found her greatest fulfillment in
raising her beloved daughter, Corrine Richardson, who served as her
caregiver for 10 years; her fondest hope was to see her daughter
return to her studies and complete her bachelor's degree; in May
2024, Ms. Richardson graduated from The University of Texas at
Austin, and Ms. Marshall's sister, Shelia, traveled from Ohio to
join in celebrating this joyous milestone; Ms. Marshall's family
circle also included her sweet canine companion, Gus; and
WHEREAS, Although Denise Marshall is deeply missed by those
she left behind, they will continue to find inspiration in her
courage, compassion, and determination to make a positive
difference in the lives of others; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Denise Elaine
Marshall and extend sincere condolences to the members of her
family: to her daughter, Corrine Belle Richardson; to her sister,
Shelia Marshall Eckert; and to her other relatives and friends;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Denise
Marshall.
