Mariya Dion Douglas

Mariya Dion Douglas entered eternal rest

November 9, 2023 at home in Henderson, NV. She was

born on May 9, 1998 at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing,

MI to Dawn Moore and Marcel Douglas

If you knew Mariya, she had the best dimpled smile

that would light up any room with an even bigger

heart to match. In her short 25 years of life, she

experienced so much pain, grief, turmoil, and

heartache but that never stopped her from showing

up and supporting the people she loved.

Mariya was the type of person that was always

willing to help others in their times of need. She was

out-going, caring, compassionate, funny, full of

moxie, resilient, kindhearted, courageous,

thoughtful, attentive, and just an overall sweetheart.

She was always very intentional in telling the people

she loved how much she loved them

At the core of Mariya's heart, was her baby girl,

Amiya Marie. She was determined to make a better

life for her and her daughter. Prior to her passing,

she was actively working on her resume and

applying for jobs to move back to her home state of

Michigan.

Mariya is proceeded in death by her father Marcel

Douglas,

Mariya leaves to cherish her memories, her daughter

(Amiya Marie), her mother (Dawn (Moore) Paz), her

two sisters, (Rakia and LaShiya), her niece (Alekia).

A host of grand-parents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and
friends that adore her.

To my baby girl your smile lit up the room. You had the

biggest heart and you loved hard no matter what was
going on in your life. Living life was what you did. I hear you saying
"momma take care of my baby you know I got this"

Momma

We'll always remember that special smile, That caring

heart, that warm embrace you always gave us. You

being there for Mama and us through good and bad

times, no matter what. We'll always remember you

have for you.

I am learning how to live
In a new way
Since that day
You were taken away.

I am learning how to live
With the things left unsaid
Knowing I got to say them
With every tear that I shed.

I am learning how to live
By embracing the pain
Knowing that you live on
Through the memories that remain.

I am learning how to live
Knowing I will never again see your face
And I have peace knowing
You’re in a better place.

I am learning how to live
Knowing you’re in God’s care
It gives me the strength to move on
And makes the pain much easier to bear.
