Mark Defino Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Randall Miller Funeral Service, Inc on Oct. 1, 2025.
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. In humble submission to the Will of God, Miller Funeral Services and Crematory sorrowfully announce the earthly departure of Mr. Mark Defino, Sr., 67 of Selma, AL.
Born December 16, 1957, to Salvatore and Mary R. (Spinazzolo) DeFino, Mark DeFino, Sr. lived the majority of his adult life in the state of Florida. He departed this world on August 8, 2025, at his home in Selma, AL.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Steven D. DeFino, his wife Maryann (Monshor) DeFino, and his step-son Kevin Monshor-Keefe.
He is survived by his son, Mark DeFino, Jr. and his wife Lisa Steel; his daughter, Jennifer Hamel, and her husband Jesse Hamel; his stepdaughter, Stacey Taylor, and her husband Tommy; his three brothers, David, Donald, and Timothy; and his two sisters, Ann Marie and Joann.
Mark's family and friends will remember him for his loving nature, his steadfast devotion to those he cared about, and the indelible impact he made on everyone who knew him.
