Marissa Ashley Marrano (Carney) was many things to many people. She was an amazing friend, sister, aunt, daughter, rockstar-wife to Nick, and a world-class mom to her daughter Bella. Marissa was a fearless princess warrior in the face of cancer, and a passionate crusader for the people she loved and met during her cancer journey.
If you were lucky enough to spend time with Marissa, you will recall that it did not take long for family, gaming, or wishes to come up in conversation. Because of her passion for finding sponsors and corporate wish partners, she was lovingly dubbed around the office as “Mrs. Holla Holla for Your Dolla!” Marissa knew how much wishes meant to children and families contending with critical illnesses, and the joy, hope, and happiness they had the power to create.
In her memory, Marissa’s family has requested we create a page for any who wish to give in lieu of flowers. We honor the light and magic she brought to us and those around her, and thank you for care and support for Marissa, Nick, Bella, John (her Dad), and her family as we hold you all in our hearts.
