I graduated from Catherine McAuley School of Nursing and first worked at Deaconess Hospital in Buffalo. I married Kenneth Marks (see bio here) on September 28, 1968 and we have 2 children - daughter Michelle A. Marks-Hook and son Eric and 2 grandchildren - Zachery, age 5, and Natalie, age 2.

I currently work as a charge nurse at Newfane Rehabilitation Health Care Center, where I have been for nearly 30 years. However, the best 5 years of my life were from 1995-2000 when I also worked at the Amherst Baby & Child Care Center as an infant room leader. I loved taking care of babies from 6 weeks old to 1 ½ years. I guess it was in preparation for grandchildren.

I enjoy attending craft shows and decorating our home in country-primitive style. My favorite hobby: spoiling the grandchildren.
