Marissa was born March 4, 1993 in Danville, PA. She was the daughter of the late Shawn Robert Birster and Dianne Michelle Reichwein.

Marissa attended Shamokin Area High School.  Marissa had the biggest heart and touched so many lives.

Marissa always put others needs above her own, especially for her children, who were her world. She was always very opinionated and outspoken, creative, crafty and making some kind of gift for someone to show her love!
