Jayde Taylor Marks (Tails) of New City, NY, 21 years old, was tragically taken from us way too soon on July 7th, 2019. Jayde was born on March 20, 1998. Jayde had a passion for sports. While she had an affinity for soccer and softball, she had tremendous talent for everything else she put her mind to. One highlight was in the summer of 2011 when the softball team she played for, known as the All-Stars, climbed their way to the World Series in Portland, Oregon.

Bound by an undaunted love and loyalty between Jayde and her siblings incomprehensible by measure; Jayde is survived by her father Seth Marks and his wife Nicole, mother Kellyann Hanratty, brothers Jonny and Patrick, sisters Sayge and Ambyr, and stepbrothers Ricky and Jesse. She is also survived by grandparents Sandy and Barry Marks and Patricia Hanratty. In addition to many aunts, uncles, an innumerable amount of friends that she considered to be family, along with the love of her life Christopher Donovan. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Family will receive friends on Thursday July 11th from 3-8 pm. Service to begin at 7:30pm at Higgins Funeral Home in New City. Jayde’s’ wish was to be cremated.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to MADD in the name of Jayde Taylor Marks at, https://madd.donordrive.com/campaign/Jayde-Taylor-Marks
