Death is more universal than life, everyone dies but not everyone lives. A. Sachs


 



This website was created to remember our dearest Marissa Jeanne Plakosh who was born in  Poland, Ohio on June 22, 1989 and passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, December 15th after an accidental shooting at her home.  Marissa was born at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Youngstown; the daughter of Jeanne (Salata) and Michael Plakosh. She will live forever in our memories and hearts. She was an amazing person whose smile could light up any room. She had a personality that one could not help but love, and a kind heart that cared for everyone. She loved to play jokes, living to make others laugh.  Marissa is now in a better place, watching over each and everyone one of us. Stay strong and smile just as she would want us all to do.  Feel free to leave pictures, memories, or any support to others. God bless you all.

Hey men! Those of you which know me personally know that for a nice and dealing with my child's poor behavior. They were only pretty much driving me nuts at all times, i didnt know what to do or perhaps what to say to them. A couple weeks ago my spouse and i finally chose to get to the bottom of it and find a solution that could work. We searched every website as well as blog i really could possibly discover on the subject and finally i found the most effective solution. In the event that any of you're having related issues with your own children you can Private Message me. About second considered i will only give you the websites i came across on the topic to enable you to possibly make out the print and fix your child too. Thanks for experiencing my observation.

Take it from someone who was never afraid to be herself...it isn't always easy to stay true to who you are, to look ahead and not around. While I was mostly an accquaintance to Marissa, and I haven't known her for very long or have been her best friend, I can truly look upon her and her accomplishments in school and in athletics and say that I know she was a person with the courage to be herself. She was aware of who she was and what she wanted to do...and she didn't listen to anyone who told her otherwise. I admired that so much about her.

 

Marissa was definitely a unique character. A lot of people have brought this up, but I'd like to take a moment to reflect on how spontaneously she truly lived. She could go from golf to track to Spanish to pre-calc. She could party hard for any OSU game, and still put together a stylish outfit and glam make up the next morning. She pulled off one of the coolest prom dresses I've ever seen. She could tell jokes, but she could symphathize with a sad story. Yet, any rumors anyone tried to spread, or any insults anyone tried to throw her way simply rolled off her shoulders. That's amazing. Marissa was the complete package. My only regret is that I didn't know her any better.

 

This whole this has been labeled a tragedy, and while I suppose it is, I don't like to reflect on the negative. Marissa's attributes could set a positive example for us all. Through my own reflections, I've realized how much of a positive influence she's had on me, just by being herself. The hardest change now distance between her and us...but let's be realistic. We all know she's sitting up there in a La-Z-Boy recliner, shouting out plays to Tressel and the Bucks.

I didn't know Marissa very well, but I do remember how she was always smiling. We were on the same softball team for a couple years, and she always came up with the best cheers. Marissa always told teammates that they did a good job even if they struck out at the plate. When it was Marissa's turn to bat, she wanted to do the best job she could to help the team. I remember how determined Marissa was to succeed at everything she did...I was also on the track team with Marissa sophomore year. She was a good track athlete, and she made the practices fun for everyone. Marissa was nice to everyone and liked to make jokes. I was lucky to be in one of her classes senior year...She always had a funny story to tell and was really easy to talk to. She could brighten the mood of anyone who was having a bad day. Her smile was contagious, and it was tough not to laugh at stupid things you did in her presence. Marissa will never be forgotten, because people have so many fond memories of her. Rest in Peace Marissa!

I remember when we were young.  Your mother brought you to Grandma Vitko's (Aunt Margaret's) to visit and I was there and we played with my dollhouse and talked I can't remember about what.  But that's my memory.  We miss you.

Mike and Jeanne,

    You have the sympathy of all of the Chuberko's from PA.  I did not learn about this tragedy until quite some time after this occurred.
