Celebrate Marina Milano Princeau's Life and Legacy

Our hearts are broken as we share the news that our beloved Marina Milano Princeau gained her angel wings on November 24, 2024, after a courageous three-year battle with a rare germ cell yolk sac tumor. Marina graced us with 28 incredible years, and we couldn't be more proud of the life she lived and the love she shared.

Her smile lit up every room, and her many friends and family members cherished her creative spirit and incredibly loving heart. Her unexpected passing, especially right before the holidays, a time she adored with all the baking, lights and decorations, has left us with a profound sense of shock and sadness.

Marina's journey began at St. Joseph's School in Mountain View, California, followed by Archbishop Mitty in San Jose. She then attended the University of Nevada, Reno, where she met her loving boyfriend Ryan. After graduation, they moved near Los Angeles, where Marina started working for Warner Brothers Studios.

Throughout her battle with cancer, she never lost her spirit, hope and love for life. Marina enjoyed hiking, crocheting and traveling with Ryan and their dog Scout. Disneyland was her absolute favorite place to visit.

We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. Marina will be forever in our hearts, and her memory will continue to inspire us.

Please consider donating to help us celebrate her life, cover the expenses our family has faced during this nearly 4-year battle, and crucially, to raise awareness about rare germ cell cancers like the one Marina so bravely fought. Your generosity will not only help us honor Marina but also contribute to educating others about this disease.

For those interested in learning more about statistics and information about this type of cancer and other rare cancers, an informational mailer will be offered to donors and sent through email in the new year.
