Meet the Founder

Eternal Marigold is more than a business — it is a living expression of love, memory, and care.

Eternal Marigold was born from a place deep within me — a space shaped by love, loss, and the quiet strength passed down through generations. My early life taught me what it means to begin again, to search for belonging, and to hold tight to the threads of heritage that keep us grounded.

I have walked the path between remembrance and renewal for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have said goodbye to people I cherished, and those farewells shaped me. They taught me tenderness. They taught me reverence. And they taught me that grief, when held with love, becomes something more than sorrow — it becomes a bridge back to meaning.

My experiences — the hardships, the relocations, the ruptures and restorations — opened my heart to a truth I carry into all my work:

Love doesn’t end. It transforms.

The losses I’ve lived through did not harden me; they deepened me. Each one became a teacher, revealing that memory is not just reflection — it is medicine. The stories we inherit, the rituals we keep, the people we honor… they shape the way we heal.

Eternal Marigold was created to give that healing a home.
A place where remembrance becomes devotion.
A place where stories become legacy.
A place where love continues to speak.
