Obituary

Zailynn "Baby Zay Zay" Marae Mars, age 1 year, 2 months and 3 days, earned her wings after a 9 month battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Type I (SMA) on Sunday, May 15, 2016. Her final days were spent surrounded by family who loved her dearly.

A closed casket visitation will be held on Thursday, May, 19, 2016 from 4 -7 p.m. at Cornerstone Funeral Cremation Services, 181 S. Main St. in Markesan. Private family services will be held.

Zailynn touched the hearts and lives of thousands of people in the short time she was with us. Zailynn's favorite things were Minnie Mouse, playing with her brother Xzander (age 3 1/2) and watching her silly dog Whistler play. She loved watching TV with Xzander and completing items on her bucket list. Her giggle and smile is something contagious and drew a smile on everyone's face that had the honor of meeting her. She was 100% a Daddy's girl, there is no denying that. Zailynn spent her time living her life to the fullest each and every day. Her parents created a bucket list for her to show her the beautiful and wonderful things in life. The memories the family created will last forever and will remind others to slow down and live every moment as if it's their last.

Zailynn  is survived by her parents, Cory and Katie, and her big brother, Xzander of Neenah; paternal grandparents, Connie and Richard Jacobs of Briggsville; maternal grandparents, Timmy and Penny Rahn of Waupun; great-grandparents, Jim Whitish of Nevada, Karen Brazee of Mayville, Sherman (Carol) Griffin of Kingston, Janice Rahn of Manchester, Roman (Jill) Rahn of Montello; four uncles, Brent (Elizabeth) Holzberger of Massachusetts, Justin (Karina Graciano) Jacobs of Briggsville, Tim (Amber) Semrow of Georgia, Nicholas (Selena) Rahn of Waupun and two cousins, Mason and Ariel.  She is further survived by other relatives and many loving friends. She also leaves behind the amazing and wonderful hospice team that supported and helped her family to the very day she gained her wings. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors/specialists that helped us through her journey.

She is preceded in death by her great–great-grandparents, Dorothy James, Marie Rahn and Louis Brazee, along with other relatives

Cornerstone Funeral & Cremation Services in Markesan is honored to be serving the family.
