Maleah Ann Blissett , a precious gift from God, was born into the loving arms of Jesus on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Maleah weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces and measured 12.5 inches long. Though her time on earth was brief, she was so small, so sweet, and deeply loved. She will live on forever in the hearts and memories of her family.

She is the beloved daughter of Matthew and Keona Blissett and the treasured baby sister of Kaiya Blissett.

Maleah is survived by her grandparents, Michael and Kimberley Blissett and Homer and Rita Smith, along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and her great-grandmother who love her dearly.

A private family graveside service will be held on Saturday, January 17, at the family cemetery, Blissett Memorial Gardens, in Oran, Missouri.
