Donna Marie Tix, age 83 of Randolph, died peacefully on Wednesday morning, January 28, 2026 at her grandson’s home in Hampton.
Donna was born on September 29, 1942 in St. Paul, the daughter of Orville and Angeline (Tinucci) Amos. She grew up and graduated from South St. Paul.
She was united in marriage to Wilfred “Bill” Tix on April 20, 1963 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Inver Grove Heights. Donna worked at Armours Meat Packing in South St. Paul, drove school bus for 10 years and later worked at Zumbrota Livestock. She also operated the family business, Tix Trucking, hauling livestock for 20 years.
Donna was known for her strong work ethic, deep faith, and devotion to her family. A devoted wife of 62 years, loving mother, and proud grandmother and great-grandmother, she found her greatest joy in time spent with those she loved.
She took pride in the family’s cattle operation and was happiest among the rolling wooded hills of their farm and at their peaceful lakeside cabin. Now resting in God’s eternal care, Donna will be deeply missed.
Donna was a member of the Church of St. Mathias at Hampton.
She is survived by her husband Bill; children, Kim (Dean) Weber and Mike (Becky) Tix; grandchildren, Nicole Weber and Andy Bloomquist, Justin and Kayla Weber, Cody and Holly Tix, Taylor (Colton) Tix, and Mitch Tix; and great-grandchildren, Brody and Lainey Weber, Dawson, Colton, and Bennett Tix.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Orville and Angie Amos; and grandson, Colton Tix.
A visitation will be held on Friday, February 6 from 4-7 p.m. at Church of St. Mathias in Hampton. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Saturday, February 7 at 11 a.m., with visitation from 10-11 a.m., at St. Mathias.
Honorary urn bearers will be Patti Kopp, David Tix, Sandy Nicolai, Joe Huss, Brian Tix, and Stacie Beissel.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Donna’s memory to St. Mathias Church, Hampton.
