Anita D. Marks

Marks, Anita D.
Appleton

Age 92, passed away at St. Elizabeth Hospital on Friday, October 9, 2009. She was born on October 9, 1917, daughter of the late Ben and Natalie (Deshaney) Marks. Starting at the age of 19, Anita worked for the Appleton Mills for 46 years, retiring in 1982. She was an avid Packer fan and loved gardening, especially raspberries and garden lilies. Anita was very determined and hard working. She was very proud of her home that she bought herself. Spending time at family get-togethers and playing with her dog, Brandy, was very important.

Anita is survived by her brother, Ken Marks of Appleton; sister-in-law, Jane Marks of Menasha; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her sisters: Virginia (Charles) Kopelke and Jane (Norm) Schabow; brother: Ben Marks, Jr.; and sister-in-law, Betty Marks.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to a good friend, and neighbor, Bernie; and the staff at St. Elizabeth Hospital for all their wonderful care for Anita.
