Marlo Bridges Tannous

Marlo Bridges Tannous, age 60, passed away Monday, September 4, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on September 24, 1962, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late A. Wilford Bridges, Jr. and Barbara (Morse) Bridges.

Marlo graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1984 and earned a law degree from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law in 1987. She spent most of her career working as an attorney for the State of Ohio, where she was the Chief Legal Counsel for the Ohio Department of Development and, most recently, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency until she retired in December 2022.
