Mariel Miriam Bloch
August 6, 2012 — December 30, 2016
Mariel Miriam Bloch, of New York, NY, Paris, France, and St. Louis, MO passed away Friday, December 30, 2016 at the age of 4 years old. Cherished daughter of Vincent and Meredith Bloch; dear sister of Scarlett Rose Bloch; beloved grandchild of Jean-Etienne and Liliane Bloch, and Frederick and Mary Drakesmith; treasured niece of Matthew Drakesmith, Bradley Drakesmith, and Coralie (Michel) Bloch-Lavergne.
Despite the many hardships that Mariel faced during her long struggle with leukemia, she was the happiest child. She delighted at the smallest pleasures in life and was a constant reminder to those around her to do the same. She loved Peppa Pig, Central Park, Elmo, feeding the ducks, her music and dance "teachers", Alice in Wonderland, swimming in her grandparents' pool, jumping in muddy puddles, the market, the beach, and spaghetti with parmesan. Mariel experienced so much love in her short life. She will always be in the hearts of those who loved her.
Funeral services will be respectfully private. Mariel's forever wish was to return to Paris. A memorial service will be held in France in the coming weeks.
In lieu of flowers, the family has established the Mariel Bloch Memorial Fund (Giving Account #1111065) with Fidelity Charitable to honor Mariel. All funds will be used to support childhood cancer research, which is currently vastly underfunded. Those seeking to make a donation should mail their check to Fidelity Charitable (with the fund name in the memo line) with a completed donation form located at the following web address:
