The dust-covered 9/11 survivor whose haunting image became an emblem of the tragedy died on Monday at the age of 42 after a year-long battle with stomach cancer.
“My mom fought an amazing battle. Not only is she the ‘Dust Lady’ but she is my hero and she will forever live through me,” Noelle Borders told The Post of her 42-year-old mother, Marcy Borders.

John Borders called his cousin a ‘hero’ on social networking site, Facebook, saying she ‘unfortunately succumbed to the diseases that has ridden her body since 9/11.’
