To Marvine's family,
We are saddened to hear of Marvine's passing. We only met once when she came to visit her Aunt Frances King, but with her bubbly personality, we felt we had known her for many years. Marvine was so good to Frances and would send care packages and call. Lovely lady inside and out!

I just learned of your loss today. My heart goes out to all of you, her family. Marvine was not only a work cohort but a very close friend. She will be missed. Marvine helped to make the day to day job of teaching a little easier and a little brighter every day. She was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and I loved chatting with her about everything! God bless you and cover you with his grace and mercy during this time of grief.

Marvine was much more than a beautiful woman; and she was literally beautiful.
She had a warmth and genuine friendliness to her that put people around her at ease. I don’t remember her ever being pretentious. She was uniquely Marvine and loved by many.
