Emerita "Marissa" McNamee

MARISSA MCNAMEE (nee Aguilar), age 74, of Walton Hills.  Beloved wife of Thomas for 54 years; loving mother of Thomas Jr (Reiko) and Holly Jean (Stephen); dearest Yaya to Charlee, Colton, Sissy, Sala, and Jo; beloved daughter of the late Godofredo and late Ceferina; cherished daughter-in-law of the late Charles and late Jean; treasured sister-in-law of the late Mary Ann; dear aunt of Kenneth and Katrina.  Marissa was a loving sister of seven siblings, a great aunt, and friends to many.  Emerita, “the deserving one” was the luckiest girl we ever knew who loved her family and she always placed them above all else.  We will miss her contagious laughter, ginormous smile, sudden outbursts of singing, dancing, her competitive nature, and cooking.  Everyone who knew Marissa loved her and those who didn’t wish they did.  Friends and family received at ST. JOHN FUNERAL HOME, 923 BROADWAY AVE., BEDFORD (ONE MILE WEST OF THE FORBES-BROADWAY EXIT OF I-271), FRIDAY, JANUARY 12 FROM 1 P.M. – 5 P.M. with a closing service at 4:30 P.M.  A Celebration of Life to follow at the VFW Post, 6768 Olde 8 Road, Northfield, OH 44067.
