Marvin Marbles Obituary
At the age of 20, Marvin met Minnie Pearl Badger. He liked to say that it was "love at first sight." They then married in 1971. Together, they were blessed with four children, Shaneka, Derrick, Derrell, and Deshawn.
Marvin was a strong, hard-working man who lived a full life. Marvin retired from Graphic Packaging after 42 years of service. Despite having a large family, Marvin was always available for everyone. He always provided love and support to anyone he came in contact with, even strangers. He loved attending high school football games "Under the Friday Night Lights", watching college football on Saturdays, and NFL football on Sundays. He also enjoyed listening to the band, going to the casino, listening to his favorite music, and being around his children, grandchildren, and close friends.
On April 14, 2024, in Monroe, Louisiana, Marvin made the transition to be with the Lord. He was preceded in death by Minnie Pearl Marbles. Marvin leaves to cherish his memory: daughter, Shaneka Marbles; sons, Derrick, Derrell, and Deshawn; brother, William (Sonny) Marbles III; sisters, Fleeta and Linda; grandchildren, Kenderick, Darlneka, Tarya, Daneisha, and Shamka; great-grandchildren, Layla, Kurian, Audrey, and Kove; closest cousin, Barbra Jean Lewis; and a host of other relatives and friends.
We will never say goodbye to Marvin's soul, but today, we are saying goodbye to his body.
