Maria's Legacy

We are the parents of Maria Jane Allport Sellick, who passed away suddenly whilst returning home from work experience at the tender age of 17.

Maria's passion was family, friendship and children which she had evidenced from an early age, when always wanting to help and tend to children she was in the company of.

Every photo shows a content smiling happy face when either a child is in her arms or she's at the helm of a pushchair.

It was whilst returning home from her work experience at a local primary school that she tragically suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

She leaves behind heartbroken parents and 3 younger siblings whom she cherished and doted on.

Maria loved school and attended witwhick Hall High school.

The school caters for varying levels of learning difficulties from mild autism to severe cerebral pausey.

Maria excelled at Makaton sighn language whilst there, with the intention to help others who may need translation.

She loved her teachers and friends as though they were extended family and loved activities the school provided including day trips out which the school require funds to allow them to achieve.

We as a family would like to fund these day trips so that Maria lives on at the school she loved and puts a smile on the faces of future students as was put on hers whilst creating happy memories in the name of Maria Jane Allport Sellick x
