On February 4th 2020, Marlaina Maria Ann Bushnell was called to eternal peace. She lost her battle to breast cancer at the age of 45. Marlaina was born in New Orleans, La to the late Raymond J. Bushnell Jr. And Elinor Decuir Bushnell. Marlaina was the proud mother of two beautiful daughters Destiny (22) and Mallory (10). She accepted Christianity at a very young age at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. She was currently a member of Mount Paran Church in Atlanta, Ga. She was an alumni of St. Mary's Academy and studied at Southern University in New Orleans. Marlaina worked at Emory hospital in Atlanta as a clinical data input. Services will be at St. Peter Claver Friday the 14th. Visitation starts at 9:00 am.

We met in Baton Rouge working the evening shift at BRG. You were always a pleasure to work with and og how we would always laugh and talk about our kids! Take your rest honey and may God Bless, strengthen and keep your family during this time.

Marlaina, I wish you a peaceful Journey. My hope for your daughters is that they treasure the time and space that they bound to you. May your legacy and light lived on through your girls.

I keep starring at my phone saying to myself let me call, text or facetime Laina. Even though your life on earth has passed, a new life of eternity has begun without any more pain and suffering just as God has promised you as you walked through the Heavenly Gates. Although Im sad without you and wish you were still here to sit and talk just for a little while longer. I will always treasure all the memories you and I have. We are never far apart, for every time I think of you; you are right here deep within my heart.
Destiny and Mallory even though your mom is not here physically. Always remember, every time you look in the mirror and at each other you will see your mom. Because, your mom will always be a part of you and deep within your hearts.
We love you much and always,

Marlaina was such a pleasant spirited person who I had the great pleasure of working with and befriending. She always gave a big smile and I was fortunate to get a big hug from her as well. I will miss her dearly. It is with great sorrow that she has left us. But we know well that God makes no mistakes. No more pain, only Heavenly rest sweet Angel.
