On May 22nd, 2014, we were blessed to meet Marlee Dina Maldonado. She was the best gift possible to her parents Ashley Ann Gilroy and Rocky Maldonado. Being born an only child, first niece to all her aunties and first grandchild on her mother's side Marlee would never want for anything. However, she gave back many times more in love and joy to all her loved ones. As a baby Marlee was very happy and made being a parent nothing but happiness. Affectionately known as "monkey" by her parents or "goose" by her family Marlee quickly developed a curiosity for life, art, science and how life works. Always eager to learn, Marlee began school early at the age of three at Coltons Pre-K program and was excited to be there. At the age of four in 2018 Marlee entered preschool at Ruth Grimes Elementary in Bloomington ready to shine and excel. On August 5th, 2019 five year old Marlee started kindergarten at Morris Elementary school in Colton already having aspirations to one day becoming a scientist or a police officer. And showed the potential to achieve whatever goals and dreams she would have. She gave an unmeasurable amount of happiness to all her family and friends and always made sure to let them know with her hugs, blowing kisses and all her random "I love you's".
Sadly on August 1st, 2022 Marlee left this world along with her beautiful Mommy Ashley and her little puppy Feebe , who she called her little sister. she is survived by her loving father, her grandparents, aunties & uncles and cousins who loved her and will miss her forever.
