Anne Marissa Leigh Obituary

Visit the Schmidt Funeral Home - Grand Parkway - Katy website to view the full obituary.
Marissa Leigh-Anne Wilson, beloved daughter, mother, and friend, passed away leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and creativity. Born in Houston, Texas, Marissa grew up in Katy, Texas, where she touched countless lives with her kind heart and warm spirit.

A proud graduate of Saint John XXIII High School, Marissa went on to earn her degree in International Business from Houston Baptist University in 2016. Intelligent and driven, she approached life with curiosity and a deep appreciation for learning and connection.

Marissa had a vibrant and creative soul. She loved photography and art, and she found peace and joy in expressing herself through drawing. She also cherished spending time outdoors-especially camping with friends, where her laughter and easygoing nature made every trip brighter. A true foodie at heart, she delighted in sharing her favorite meals-crawfish, barbecue, and Mexican food-with the people she loved most.

Those who knew Marissa will remember her as loving, kind, and occasionally sarcastic, with a sense of humor that could light up any room. She was compassionate and genuine, always ready to listen, to laugh, or to lend a helping hand.

Marissa's greatest joy in life was her children-Bentley, Winnie, and Winston-whom she loved beyond measure. She also leaves behind her devoted parents, Ray and Pamela Wilson; her Uncle Jeff Watkins; Uncle and Aunt Bill and Christine Wilson; Uncle and Aunt Richard and Penny Huss; Uncle and Aunt Chuck and Diane Stanley; and a multitude of cousins who will forever cherish her memory.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother Ellen Watkins, grandfather Sam Wilson, and Nana Helen Wilson.

To honor Marissa's deep love for animals, the family requests that memorial donations be made to any local pet shelter in her name.

Marissa's life was a beautiful blend of kindness, creativity, and love-a light that continues to shine in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
