Mara Lily Powers

Mara was a beloved member of our family whose unconditional love, loyalty, and unforgettable personality brought joy to everyone who knew her.

Mara's favorite things in life were simple: being outside, spending time with her family, eating, playing with her beloved tennis ball or big red ball, helping Mom work from home, and taking long naps. Whether she was stretched out on the floor beside us or relaxing in her favorite room on the couch, chair, or bed, Mara was happiest when she was close to the people she loved.

She had a few dislikes that everyone knew well. Mara was never a fan of the vacuum, loud televisions, riding in the car, or other animals. However, she never met a belly rub she didn't enjoy. Her best friends included anyone willing to stop and give her some attention, and her special friend, Clyde.

Mara had a healthy appreciation for good food. Her favorites included peanut butter, popcorn, Fromm Chicken & Veg recipe, and just about any human food she could convince someone to share—except fruits and vegetables. She knew exactly where to go when she wanted a treat, understanding that Mom was much more likely to give in than Dad.

Those who loved Mara will always remember the wrinkles on her forehead, her affectionate nature, and her desire to be wherever her people were. She was protective, curious, a little nosey, and loved being the center of attention. Most of all, she had a remarkable way of making every family member feel loved simply by being nearby.

Mara was cherished by her pet parents, Greg and Laurie Powers. She will be greatly missed by her brother, Noah Powers; her sister, Breanna Johnson (Jake); her nephews, Finnegan, Parxten, Caden, and Nixon; her niece, Brecklynn; and her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and extended family members who loved her dearly.

Though her paws no longer grace the floors of our family home, her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. Mara's love, companionship, and loyal presence will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
