Marla Perez

Marla Perez was a kind, hardworking, and friendly mother of two beautiful children.

Every effort she did she never did for herself, Marla always kept her kids in mind.

She’s the embodiment of a strong single mother.

Marla's favorite things to do were to hang out with friends, sing karaoke, and was a strong dog lover. She always looked after others often providing a safe space in her home for other people. She spreads kindness and good laughs no matter how she was feeling. She loved to help people no matter how good or bad the people around her were. Marla was a conversationalist with many interests including sports, cars, movies, TV shows, music, makeup, politics or local restaurants/bars.

Marla was always working hard, but she always played hard as well. She took care of two kids, often having a main job while working side jobs. She’s had many careers in her life, Marla worked at Carlos and Mickey’s when her kids were young. Then started working for the medical supply field, eventually started her own business in the mechanics field with her automotive shop Jmar Auto. Even though Marla was always working, she still managed to find time to spend with her kids and try to give everything that they wanted or needed.

Marla always loved to meet new friends and was never shy of strangers. Give Marla 5 minutes and you can instantly feel the warmth and sweetness of her heart. Marla always loved to help others, even when she couldn't help herself. She was never selfish and always gave a helping hand to those who needed it.

Marla will always be remembered in our hearts. The kindness and warmth that she gave will always be in our memories. Rest in Peace, Marla. I hope you are still smiling and laughing in heaven. You will be greatly missed.
