Daniel F. Marra, age 90 of Jefferson Hills, passed away at home with his family by his side on Tuesday, September 19, 2023. Born December 6, 1932 in Clairton, he was a son of the late Frank and Philomena (Fusco) Marra. A 1950 graduate of Clairton High School, Daniel was a US Army Veteran of the Korean War and a member of the American Legion Daniel Keffer Post #75 of Clairton.

In his spare time, he enjoyed going to the casino, but not nearly as much as he loved spending time with his family.

Marra, who passed away September 12, 2010; and his siblings: Antoinette Girman, Felix "Brother" Marra, Marie Mackulin, and Rosella Lane.
