She never met a stranger, never forgot a face, and loved everyone she ever met. You never know what she would say next, but there was a good chance it involved checking your tan to see if she was darker, telling you to feel her muscles, or that you needed the carburetor on your car fixed and she would do it for you. Marisa resided in a local group home where she was able to live semi-independently for the last 25 years. She had house mates and staff while living there that she viewed as family but most important to her was her caregiver and best friend Janet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a child growing up in Denver, Marisa could frequently be found riding her bike in the bank parking lot and offering to pump gas or air up tires for the guests at the gas station. There was not a single resident of Denver in the 80\u2019s that didn\u2019t know and love Marisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marisa is survived by her brothers, William \u201cBilly\u201d Townsend (wife Melody) of Plant City, Florida and Rodger Allen Townsend (wife Frances) of Aransass Pass, Texas and her sister, Jennifer Townsend-Camden (husband Tony) of Peru, Indiana. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marisa was preceded in death by her father, James Townsend, her mother, Vicki (Crawford) Townsend, and her sister, Lisa Cole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marisa\u2019s light, love, and humor will be missed by all who knew her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A graveside service, with a date to be announced, will follow. Her final resting place will be next to her Mom &amp; Dad in Westlawn Cemetery in Denver, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrangements have been entrusted to Flowers-Leedy Funeral Home.
