(Age 25)
Aliyah "Alli" Ann Marsh was born December 12, 1994 in Reno, NV and later lived in Rochester, MN before moving to Spokane, WA where she went to Arlington Elementary, Shiloh Hills Elementary, and Mountainside Middle School before graduating from Mount Spokane High School in 2013. Alli planned to marry her true love, Adam Chavez, on June 27, 2021. Alli was a prolific writer, filling journal after journal with stories and song lyrics. Her friends remember her for her exceptionally kind and gentle spirit, her unique gothic-cowgirl style, and her love of animals. Alli passed away at home on July 21, 2020 with her fiancé and her father lovingly tending to her.
Alli is survived by her father Lambert Marsh of Spokane; mother Jacqueline Porter Martone of Spokane; stepfather Steve Martone of Spokane; fiancé Adam Chavez of Spokane; sister Marissa Marsh of Reno; sister Angela Boyiddle of Reno; brother Eric Boyiddle of Reno; niece Amari Rodriguez of Reno; aunt and uncle Dana and Sharon Marsh of Spokane; aunts and uncles Pat and Fred Jones, Betty and Bob Andrews, Barbra and Clyde Friesen, all of Reno; grandmother, Jerry Porter of Rochester, MN; grandfather, Kevin Porter of Reno; aunt Elizbeth Porter and uncle Kevin Crookston of Savage, MN. Alli was preceded in death by her uncles Gordon Marsh and Joe Marsh and her grandmother Adora Pajinam and many beloved animals. We can only imagine all the arms, paws, and hooves that stretched out to welcome her home.

It’s always a tragedy to have a well-rounded friend like Aliyah to pass away at such a young age. Let alone from a pandemic. Her family is constantly in my prayers. I really enjoyed the time we spent together during our days at Spokane Community College. She was always easy to talk to and really helped me out with learning information for all of my courses. It’s quite a shock to me still, but I know that she is with God and therefore I will be able to see her one day. Her taste in music and fashion is something that I will always hold onto. I miss her and I am glad she isn’t suffering from this terrible disease anymore.

I was shocked to hear of your passing. I will always remember you in my science classroom at Mountainside middle school. You brought many smiles to my face.
My prayers are with your family and friends
