Dana Kazmark Obituary
Dana Desmond Kazmark, age 83, passed away peacefully on September 26, 2025.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Dana was a woman of quiet strength and steady grace. She preferred the simple joys of life and was known for her gentle nature and low-key demeanor. Never one to seek the spotlight, Dana found fulfillment in the warmth of family, the comfort of routine, and the beauty of ordinary days.
Dana was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ronald Kazmark; her parents, Daniel and Betty Desmond; and her brother, Tom Desmond. She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Teresa (A.J.) Sanchez; her cherished grandchildren, Adam and Andrew; her brother, Joseph Desmond; and her sister, Nancy Kramer. Each of them carries her memory forward with affection and gratitude.
Visitation will be held on Friday, October 3, at 4:00-6:00 PM at Williams Funeral Home, 2517 Trotwood Avenue, Columbia, TN, where family and friends are invited to gather and honor her life.
Dana’s presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
