ROGERS PARK — Neighborhood stalwart Nancy Sell never stopped spreading awareness about cancer, the disease that killed her husband in 2007.
Sell and Ed "Jay" Markmann, who was stricken with lung cancer, founded Here Comes the Sun, named after the couple's love of both sunshine and the Beatles. Even after her husband's death, she continued the fight.
