Lori E. Stilley told friends last year that she had Stage IV bladder cancer and was preparing to die. Supporters raised more than $12,000 for expenses and prepared her meals. Her "Team Lori Rocks" page on Facebook attracted more than 300 friends. Family members and others helped cover the cost for her to get married. It was the least they could do.

Powelson said in a video news release.
