Marva lived a life of complete devotion and self sacrifice in behalf of her family. There was never a birthday forgotten or special event involving her family that she did not attend. She told us all that she loved us frequently and we felt that love as we saw her continually sacrifice her time and resources for the benefit of all of us, her family. Marva’s legacy that she leaves behind will be the example she set for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of putting her family first and the needs of others before one’s own. We will miss her deeply but know that she is among beloved friends and family and that we one day be able to embrace and thank her again.
