Marissa Suzanne Hill, 20, of Gordonville went to heaven Friday, June 5, 2015, as a result of an accident in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
She was born July 16, 1994, in Cape Girardeau, to Paul Gregory and Joy L. Bowen Hill. She graduated from Jackson High School in 2012.
From 2013 to 2015, she was a certified nurse assistant at Saint Francis Medical Center.
Earlier this spring, she joined the Army National Guard and was honored to serve her country.
Marissa was a very compassionate daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She had a tender love for her nephews and took every opportunity to be a part of their lives.
Her laughter and sense of humor were enjoyed by all who knew her. She enjoyed target shooting, kayaking, being out of doors and spending time with family. Dancing with her friends was one of her favorite pastimes.
Marissa had a sense of fashion and a creativity that God gave her. Whether it be wearing pearls or combat boots, she could be stylish at any occasion. She was a member of Lynwood Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau.
She will be greatly missed and will forever remain in our hearts.
Marissa is survived by her mother and father, Joy and Greg Hill of Jackson; four brothers, Josiah D. Holshouser of St. Charles, Missouri, Collin M. Hill of Jackson, G. Scott Hill of Delta and Chris P. (Amanda M.) Hill of Sikeston, Missouri; five sisters, Rebekah J. (Brandon E.) DuBois of Cape Girardeau, Elisabeth K. (Micah E.) McDowell of Jackson, Amanda D. Holshouser of Cape Girardeau, Candace S. Hill of Jackson and Megan D. (Justin M.) Long of Kenmore, New York; and two nephews, Colten D. and River J. DuBois.
She was preceded in death by a brother, Joshua Keith Holshouser of Scott City, and a sister, Sarah Lou Richardson of Cape Girardeau.
Visitation will be from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday at Lynwood Baptist Church.
A memorial service will follow, with Jeff Moran officiating.
McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson is in charge of arrangements.
Sympathy messages may be sent to the family online at mccombsfuneralhome.com.
