Royal Oak commissioner leaves seat in wake of cancer diagnosis COMMISSION VOTES TO RENAME CITY PARK IN HER HONOR BY MIKE KOURY mkoury@candgnews.com
ROYAL OAK — Due to a cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Royal Oak City Commissioner Patricia Paruch announced she will be stepping away from the commission and entering hospice care. Paruch revealed in a statement that she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in May and that, after speaking with her family and doctors, decided that
fighting the disease wasn’t an option for her and that she would end cancer treatments and enter hospice. “During this time I have come to the realization that death is just a moment in time, and I intend to spend the precious time I have left surrounded by my family and friends in the city I love,” she stated. Paruch stated that serving the residents of Royal Oak has been “both a privilege and distinct honor that I have cherished.” “I want to thank this community, including its residents, my former and current colleagues, and everyone I have worked with, for giving me the chance to help move See PARUCH on page 15A
