Marissa MacLellan left a permanent mark on the world in many more ways than one. She is the mother of Juliana Morse, which she would probably say is her world or something cringy like that. Her and Juliana had so many adventures. They would stay up late eating food, talking or as others say ‘spilling the tea’, they always went shopping together, in shorter words they were best friends forever and always. Marissa was such an amazing example to follow not just for Juliana but for many others, whoever had met or come in contact with Marissa MacLellan was lucky. She lived with all three loves of her lives, Jimbo, Asia, and Juliana. Marissa loved working at Wonderland dog track as a teller where she met Jimbo, her husband who she loves dearly, she always would find time to hang out with him, it was almost as if they were living in a teenage romance movie. Danielle, who is Jimbo’s other daughter making her Marissa’s step daughter, they had a special bond that nobody could replace. Asia, she is the family boxer dog who everyone loves. Marissa would give her life which she did, just to see Asia again. You could always catch Marissa and Asia eating food in the kitchen at 3am in the morning, or sleeping on the couch together while Asia took over the couch but she would never kick her off, they were also best friends.
Marissa was a very optimistic person. Everywhere she went and everywhere she is going to go she brings light and happiness. She will be loved and missed, which is something she most likely would not want to be said, she would want everyone to talk about the good times that were shared and will be shared.
She left behind her mother Honey, her father David, Step father Eddie, sister Bonnie and her husband Jim, and her Great Nana Mary. Along with her niece, nephew, her two great nieces, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
