Murvil Stevens Obituary
Born March 30, 1947, in Rowan County, he was a son of the late Tom Stevens and Nora Sparkman Stevens. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four brothers, an infant, Tom Stevens, Jr., Bobbie Thurman Stevens, and Gary Wayne Stevens; and four sisters, an infant, Margie Byerly, Lily Mae Hamm, and Shelby Edwards.

Murvil enjoyed the outdoors and liked raising a garden, woodworking, carpentry, and spending time with his family. Most of all, he loved spending time with his grandchildren, who were very special to him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
