Forever Marirose Powell


We only meet a few people in our lifetime that leave such a huge mark on our hearts. Marirose was one of those people. She inspired, motivated, and encouraged those around her, lighting up the room with her smile or bringing a tear to your eye with a song. Her knowledge, experience, and passion for music made her shine like no one I’ve ever known. Her voice was so unique, you instantly knew who it was every time you heard her sing.

Her kindness and love defined her. She taught us that giving it all you had would eventually pay off in happiness. She touched so many lives.

It was such a blessing to have shared the times we had together. From the Whiskey a Go Go to the Gallo and everywhere in between. She was a true rock star! Marirose took me places I never would’ve gone to if it wasn’t for her. I will be forever grateful for her friendship. It was an honor and a privilege to share the stage with my sister in song. I will always hold those memories close to my heart. How lucky we are to have known such a beautiful person.
