Marie T Stoker Rea left us very unexpectedly early on the morning of February 21, 2024. She was a beautiful soul whose smile would light up any room she entered. She loved her family and friends endlessly and did all she could to make sure everyone’s spirits were bright. Born on May 17, 1980 in Akron, OH, Marie spent every day trying to make people smile. She loved growing up with close family and shared many fond memories of times playing with her big brother and all the cousins over the years. She was a talented athlete, amazing chef, and dedicated herself to anything she had passion for, mainly the people around her and the fur babies. She leaves behind her loving spouse of nearly 20 years, Christi Rankl, along with parents Cheryl Stoker, Ralph (Diana) Rea, brother Ramsey Rea (Nikki Aherne), loving in-laws Becky (Ed) Snyder, Ray (Karen) Rankl, Erica (Steve) Gatrell, and nieces/nephews Finn, Maren, Alex, and Jasper along with Aunt Janet and so many blessed cousins and friends.
The family will be receiving friends for a Memorial Service on Monday, February 26, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. at Baker McCullough Funeral Home (7415 Hodgson Memorial Drive Savannah, Georgia 31406).
