Marissa’s Story

Site created on July 5, 2020

We are using this site to keep family and friends updated in one place. We lost Marissa despite her arduous fight to live. She chose to be an organ donor and her light and life will continue to live in our hearts.  Please post your words of encouragement and stories about Marissa below.

Marissa was in a diving accident while out of town with Jimmy and some friends. She was airlifted to Regions hospital, but could not survive her injuries.  Please please please send your prayers, positivity, and good vibes to our girl, her mom and the rest of her family.
