Marissa will be remembered for her vibrant personality, love and loyalty to her family, friends and her abundance of affection for her son, Oliver. She was a caring and adoring mother. Marissa had an overwhelming energy and enthusiasm for life and had many talents and she was most passionate for music. She taught herself how to play guitar at a young age and enjoyed going to concerts with her sisters and friends.

For those who knew Marissa, she was bold and courageous. she had energy that could wake up a room and a laugh larger than life. She was just as beautiful inside as she was out. Marissa explored her love for the arts through acting and modeling. She was always willing to lend a hand. She volunteered at the Frisco Family Services Center to help create memorable holiday for those less fortunate.

Marissa's compassion for helping others lives on through her gift of organ donation and through the beautiful life she has brought into this world 3 years ago. We will be reminded of her kindred spirit through the sparkle in her son's eyes, the smile on his face, the joyfulness in his laughter and the warmth of his loving embrace.

Our beautiful daughter, sister and mother will be deeply missed and she will forever remain in our hearts. A vibrant young girl, with so much left to give, taken too soon- May she rest in peace in The Lord's arms.
