In observance of West Virginia Donor Day, Weirton officials recognized the Mascio and Brueck families during Monday’s City Council meeting. In September 2021, Jennifer Brueck was diagnosed with Stage 5 renal disease, which would necessitate a kidney transplant. While at Johnmichael hair salon in February 2023, her story was overheard by Marie Mascio who decided to be screened for the potential to be a donor, and was found to be a perfect match. She donated a kidney that April. — Craig Howell
