Marvin Renner Obituary

Marvin Renner

Born: August 21, 1939 | Died: October 27, 2025

Marvin Dale Renner, age 86, passed away October 27, 2025, at his home. He was born in Cedar Creek on August 21, 1939, to Ray and Hilda Renner. He graduated from St. James High School in 1957.

Growing up in Greene County, Marvin hauled milk for Pet Milk Company. Later he married the love of his life, Margaret Seaton, on May 22, 1959. He was an avid dairy, beef, and tobacco farmer for most of his life. While farming, he instilled hard work ethics in both his children and grandchildren. Marvin also retired as a Rural Letter Carrier after 32 years. He made many lifelong friends on his mail route journey. Two of his favorite pastimes were fishing and going to livestock markets.

He is survived by two children, Myra (Tim) Waddle and Marty (Stephanie) Renner; grandchildren, Blake (Ashlan) Renner and Kallie Renner; sister and brother, Ann Bear and Joe (Kathy) Renner; sister-in-law, Carolyn DeMello; many nieces and nephews; and many special friends.

Marvin was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Margaret; infant daughter, Amanda; parents, Ray, Sr., and Hilda Renner; a brother, Ray, Jr. (Janet) Renner; and an infant sister, Lillian Renner.

The family will receive friends 4:00-7:00 pm on Friday, October 31 at Kiser-Rose Hill Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 am Saturday at GreeneLawn Memory Gardens. Rev. Harrell and Marci Cobb will officiate.

Family and friends are asked to meet at the funeral home at 10:00 am on Saturday to go in procession to the cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Blake Renner, Jordan "Stumpy" Shelton, Johnny Ray Renner, Jason Collins, Bryson Collins, and Jeremy Shelton. Honorary pallbearers are Joe Renner, Danny "Satch" Sluder, Jay Lynn Stills, Ron Gunter, Hoot Bowers, Jimmy Starnes, Beryl Freshour, Bryson Casteel, and Vernon Holland.

The family would like to express special thanks to Amedisys Home Health and Hospice, Erica Harvey, Dr. Andy Roberts and his nurse, Nicole.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Cedar Creek Presbyterian Church for the Kallie Renner Kindergarten Bible Ministry.
