Mariel was a member of the Albany Church of Christ and loved God, her family, and her friends. Mariel's life appeared too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives.

Mariel is kept alive in memory by her parents, Elroy and Marie Christie, her siblings, Maya, Marcelino, Marys, and Maxwell, and all who loved and cared for her.
