Carrissa had a personality full of small joys—she loved a good cup of coffee, a game of rummy, coloring, dream meaning books, and the quiet comfort of the Weather Channel in the background. She had a soft spot for animals, a curiosity for tarot cards, and could happily start her morning with a crossword puzzle.

Carrissa passed away on July 21, 2025, at the age of 47, leaving behind her two sons, Alex and Aron. This fundraiser is a way for friends, family, and community to help them as they navigate this next chapter—supporting Alex in his college journey and helping Aron with everyday expenses as he moves forward.

Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in their lives and help them step into the future with a little more security. If you’re not able to give, sharing this page is another meaningful way to show support.

Thank you for honoring Carrissa’s memory by standing beside her boys during this time of transition.
