Marisela instantly gained the nickname Pepsi because during her mother’s pregnancy she craved Pepsi Cola. Pepsi grew up in a cul-de-sac on Herbert Street in Oceanside where she often rode her bike, roller skated, and played outside with friends. She grew up and attended San Luis Rey Mission Catholic Church for many years. Pepsi married her high school sweetheart Tommy Green and soon gave birth to her son Junior in 1984. They were together for 11 years until they later separated. January 5th,1996 Pepsi met the love of her life Gregory while he was stationed in Oceanside. It was love at first sight and the two were inseparable. Later, they moved to Austin, TX where she and Gregory officially tied the knot on January 5th, 2005, and lived happily for the past 25 years with her two step children, DD and Bubbles. During her time in Austin, Pepsi worked at several different jobs as a customer service representative until 2016 when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune illness. Due to her diagnosis, she retired and spent her retirement doing all of the things she loved. She was able to spend time catching up on her Judge Judy and other criminal shows while she knitted, completed puzzles, and art work. Pepsi was the life of the party. She treated everyone she met like family and made friends everywhere. She kept in touch with her two lifelong friends Cyndi Mendez and Laverne Narcisse. She always knew how to have a good time and loved to eat Texas BBQ along with playing Dominoes and Spades. She loved being a grandma to her two grandbabies Damien and Cupcake who she often FaceTimed and sent them multiple care packages throughout the year. She loved to decorate for the holidays and spend time with her family. Pepsi entered into eternal rest on Saturday, December 17th, 2022. She will be greatly missed and loved forever.
