Marissa may have gained her wings, but she was no angel. Born into a family of strong women full of sass, she walked to the beat of her own drum, and you could join the band or be quiet and watch the show. She loved to laugh, eat snacks, read romance novels, and watch trash TV. She had a heart a mile wide, and a mouth that could put you in your place in a second. To say that she will be missed, is an understatement. Her story will live on, in the big attitudes and bigger hearts of her daughter, granddaughter, and nieces. Her strength, determination and mile wide stubborn streak will shine bright in her son, grandson, and nephews. And her love will remain in the hearts of all she left behind. She’s out there somewhere now in the wind running wild and free. We’ll listen for the drums.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, July 29th, 2021, at 2:00 PM (EDT) at the Johnson Brown-Service Funeral Home Chapel in Valley. Interment will follow in Johnson Memorial Gardens. The Reverend Mark McGee will officiate. The family will receive friends at the funeral home Thursday afternoon from 1:00 PM (EDT) until the service hour.
