Dana and Mark Combs met through mutual friends and had a long friendship before they became a couple in 2009. They were married in 2011 in a private ceremony at a small Reno chapel, and a few months later had a big celebration with their family and friends.
One of the couple’s favorite things to do together is travel. “We love going to Maui – it’s our favorite place,” said Dana. “We’re very sad about the Lahaina Fire that happened last summer.” After the fire happened, The Washington Post put out a request to readers to submit their photos and stories of memories they made in Maui. Dana submitted a photo of Mark with the caption “On our many trips to Maui, my husband Mark is always anxious to be in Lahaina sitting under the banyan tree with his friends, the birds. To him, this is a special and almost spiritual activity: getting a bag of chips and feeding the pigeons. I call him the “Bird man of Lahaina.” Their photo and memory was published by the Washington Post on August 23, 2023.
Dana and Mark last visited Maui in December 2022, and are hoping to return to the island soon. They’ve also had great experiences traveling to Cabo and the city of Palm Desert in southern California. “We recently spent three weeks in Palm Desert with some friends and are looking forward to going back there,” said Dana. “We are planning to travel up the Oregon Coast this summer.”
When it comes to their healthcare, Dana and Mark said they love Renown and Senior Care Plus. “There’s no hassle with Senior Care Plus,” said Mark. “We don’t have to worry about anything.” Dana and Mark love their providers at Renown, having MyChart at their fingertips, and their low prescription drug costs. “We’ve been Senior Care Plus members since we became eligible for Medicare and we’re very happy with it,” said Dana. Fun fact: Dana and Mark appear in the newest Senior Care Plus television commercial that has been airing locally since last October.
