In 1989 her only son Samuel joined the US Air Force while in England and for her once again it was a tough time as she would be alone after many years.

Marisa was a tough lady as she had to struggle raising her son by herself and the stigma that came with it plus working a full time job as well and that was not an easy job in those days. Even into her late eighties she still wanted to do things by herself without help or anyone's permission and she fought until her last breath as she felt she had more todo and take care off whether it was her plants, house, and even giving sage advice to mothers and their babies as she never stopped being a Midwife or a mother.
