Born December 30, 1940, in Eden, MS, Marvin served four years in the United States Air Force. He became an electrician and later founded his own company, Milner Electric Company, with his best friend and business partner, Ray Durr, until his retirement in 2005.

Marvin loved his family with all his heart and enjoyed traveling, genealogy, reading, watching movies and being outdoors on his family's land.

The last eight years of his life, Marvin courageously battled Alzheimer's disease and stayed as active as possible until the disease progressed.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Kelly Donald; his parents, Samuel and Celia Mae Milner; and his brothers, Robert Milner and Thomas Milner.

He is survived by his daughters, Kimberly Lang (Wayne) of Brandon, MS, and Christy Livingston (Mike) of Madison, MS; grandchildren, Jake Artman, Kelsey Artman, Paul David Donald (Bridgett), Ryan Donald (Sarah), John Donald (Alli), Kaylee Foster, Zach King and Sarah-Beth King; seven great-grandchildren; and his sisters, Carolyn Faye Milner Autrey and Emogene M. Kasper (Edward).

The family would like to thank Dr. L. Sams; Danny Vining, PMH-NP; St. Catherine's Village/ Campbell Cove; and Oxford Healthcare for all the love, care and support given to Marvin.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Mississippi Alzheimer's Association, 196 Charmant Place, Suite 4, Ridgeland, MS 39157.
