About Hearts from Marylise

Welcome to Hearts from Marylise. Our sister Marylise had a heart full of love, faith, and kindness. She cared deeply about others and always wanted people to feel seen, loved, and supported.

This foundation was created to honor her life and continue the love she shared so freely. Our prayer is that through this ministry, families will feel comfort, hope, and God’s presence during some of their hardest moments.

Thank you for being here and for helping us carry Marylise’s legacy forward.

With love,

The Mills Family
