Donna Marie Marks, age 93, of San Jose, California passed away on Sunday, May 5, 2024. Donna was born in North Dakota to Louise (Faust) Murphy and Joseph Murphy. She was one of five children born to the happy couple.
Donna is survived by her loving children; Caroline Hockett (Don); David Marks; George Marks (Lisa); Charlie Marks (Joanne); Anita Simetkowski (Urek); and her daughter Nicole Hausler (John). Donna was blessed to have nine incredible grandchildren and was a very proud great-grandmother to eleven. Being with them brought her the greatest joy.

her again.
