Fort Morgan hospice patient and criminal justice graduate accomplishes dream of becoming a juvenile advocate
The Fort Morgan Times, by Robin Northrup; 1/25/24
Fort Morgan resident Raquel Marquez has always wanted to be a juvenile advocate. Her passion is to protect the rights and interests of children involved in the legal system — those who are victims of abuse, neglect, or crime. ... In 2013, during her first year of college, Marquez was diagnosed with brain cancer. Even after learning about her diagnosis, she stayed in school and finished her degree. Now at home in the care of her family and Hospice of the Plains, Marquez had her dream fulfilled at her home on Wednesday by Hospice of the Plains representative Leon Midkiff, Morgan County Sheriff Dave Martin, and 13th Judicial District’s Victim Advocate, Jill Olsen.
