Where to begin is hard. I have very fond memories of Marakah. First met this beautiful spirit at St. Anthony Catholic school where she attended with my daughter Anissa Walker. Anissa started attending St, Anthony in the 5th grade where her and Marakah became friends. Anissa has always been an introvert and Marakah a bubbly spirit who spoke to everyone and was a joy to be around. She always made Anissa feel comfortable and confident, Marakah helped bring her out of her shell. Marakah was Anissa's confidant through the perils of middle school and throughout high school. Anissa attended Seton while Marakah attended St. John's. They became the best of friends. Although they were at separate schools, they never skipped a beat in their friendship. Marakah always made a point to check in with Anissa knowing how immersed and stressed she would get into her school work . Marakah had the ability to instantly lift Anissa's spirits. Marakah was just "that friend" when her name is said in our house you cannot help but smile. Marakah helped me pull together Anissa's surprise 16th birthday party. She reached out to her friends to invite them, she came over early to help decorate, she really made Anissa's event special. They attended a few of each other's high school events. They vowed to keep in contact entering into their freshman year in college. I was so happy that Anissa befriended someone so full of life and supportive. She was Anissa's ying to her yang.  Marakah was excited to start her college career at LSU. She shared  a fun video of her dorm room nicely decorated displaying her District of Columbia flag :). Marakah was just the sweetest selfless young lady and mind you, her prom pictures "SLAYED" she looked AMAZING! I could go on however my tears are starting to flow...gone waay too soon, but the Lord has  bigger plans for Marakah. To all of Marakah's St. Anthony 8th grade class, continue on in your studies and strive for greatness in memory of our girl Marakah. 

I met Marakah as one of her St John’s track and field coaches. She had many gifts but none more powerful than her spirit of giving.  She gave her positive energy, her smile, her commitment of best effort, and her joyful outlook.  The abundance within her smile was enough to cause you to feel life was good, if only for that moment.  I don’t feel loss when I think of her.  I feel grateful for the experience of meeting her.  Thank you to God for gifting her. Thank you to her parents for developing her. Thank you to Marakah for giving of herself.   Coach Lawson

I was one of Marakah’s teachers at St. John’s and she always brightened up my day with her cheerful disposition and beautiful smile. Her energy was contagious and she was so full of life even when she wasn’t having the best day. I’m going to miss her, and I feel so grateful to have crossed paths with a person like Marakah who was so beautiful inside and out.
