In the "old days", Marva and her brothers and sisters used to sing together as a family and attend church sing-fests.

Marva retired from Wal-Mart Quality Control in Bentonville, Arkansas. One of the highlights of her employment at Wal-Mart was traveling to Bixby with Sam Walton for the store opening in Bixby, because that was her home town. She worked 14 years for Seiscor Services of Tulsa.

Marva liked caring for the elderly. She was a longtime member of the Belle Vista Church of Christ, where she did volunteer work in the office. She moved to Claremore in 2004 where she was a member of the Blue Starr Church of Christ.

Marva will be missed by her friends and relatives. Her remains will be buried at Bixby Cemetery by Leslie Dowler.
