Mariella Inez Arens was born on May 10, 2023 and passed away on May 11, 2023. She touched many lives in her short time on earth.

Mariella had perfect little toes and fingers. She came into this world kicking her feet and swinging her arms.

May God Bless the many doctors and nurses who cared for her in the weeks leading up to her birth and the hours following her birth.

Mariella means "loves all" and Inez means "pure". Mariella embodied the meaning of pure love.

Mariella was surrounded by love and prayer in the week leading up to her birth. Family, friends, friends of friends and hospital staff were lifting Mariella, her parents and her family up in prayer. We know our heavenly Father heard each loving prayer. Now, we must trust in His Holy Will and know she is at peace with the Father.

Mariella is survived by her parents, Connor Arens and Megan Samuelson; her grandparents, Jason and Jayne Arens, Charlie and Gina Samuelson; eleven aunts and uncles; five great­ grandparents and one great-great grandparent.
