Mara Alexis Griffin
March 1, 1980 ~ April 28, 2022
On April 28, 2022, Mara was taken into the arms of God leaving behind her children, Jeremy, Haylee, and Kylie Woodard whom she loved with all her heart.
Her mother, Katherine, father, Benson, her sisters Jennifer and Dana, her brothers Benson and Jack are missing their daughter and sister. Her nieces, Alyssa, Ashley, Bryce, Aireoyna, and nephews, Matthew, Cadence, Christian, and Ben loved her laugh and will miss her hugs.
Mara brought a sense of fun and adventure that will be greatly missed by her cousins, friends and family.
She excelled in gymnastics, softball, and turning cartwheels across the front yard! She always had a smile and a good word towards every person who came in contact with her. She loved fiercely, and always stood up for her family. She was stubborn, loyal, and never gave in when she made a decision or believed she was right. If she stood with you, she would be your strongest ally. She would help you with whatever you needed if she had it to give.
She cried over a stray or weak animal and would stay beside it as it drew it's last breath or rush it to where it could receive care.
Many people were recipients of Mara's generosity and love.
At this time, the family asks their privacy to grieve be respected.
A memorial and celebration is planned and will be announced at a future date.

As kids we were the youngest cousins, always being left behind by our older siblings and other cousins. We made up games of our own, played dress up, walked in high heels and wore old lady scarfs. We climbed trees and threw rocks at cars. Lucky we had terrible aims. 🙂 Thank you for being such a loving and caring cousin, always bold, walking to your own beat. Till we meet again Love Bec.

Oh my sweet sister. My heart is broken and will be for a very long time. I remember when you came into this world. You were always such a happy sweet little girl. You loved your family so fiercely and would have done anything for anyone. You loved your babies so so much and I promise I will be there for them always. I’m going to miss your laugh and smile. Your intense love. You are going to be deeply missed but I will see you again one day. I love you! Jennifer
Always light our path…..
Grow deep for strength with branches spread wide and tall to give shelter from the worst of storm
Mara, I remember holding you in my arms when you were a baby, cuddling you, rocking you to sleep, kissing your forehead. Now God is doing the same .
You will be missed cousin. Your smile and laugh always brightened my day growing up. Especially when you could tell I was upset. You would always get me to smile back. Love you always. Cousin Dave.
Missing you more each day, I love you, baby girl!
