I just learned of Marva Mae's passing today. I have fond memories of her from Brush Creek Church so many years ago. She loved writing cards and letters. Even when I left for college, she would often take time to send me a card full of love and encouragement. Marva Mae loved Jesus and His love radiated from her. Looking at her picture, I am flooded with so many pleasant memories from my childhood. Tyler, Stephanie, Sarah and Michael...your grandmother was a truly precious person. I'm so glad to have known her. Jeff Rapp
We are so sorry to hear about Marva Mae passing away. We did not know until Saturday. She was so nice, always enjoyed talking to her. Larrys Mom Elsie McCormick lived across the street . They had a very good way of checking on each other every day. I always liked waiting on her when she came in the bank. She will be missed by all her friends. I know you have a lot of fine memories. Larry and Jane McCormick
We will always remember your mother and grandmother as a lovely gracious lady and friend.
Ms. Marva was truly one of the kindest people I had ever met. She always showed such care for those around her and often shared her love of Christ. It was such a pleasure getting to know and care for Ms Marva during her stay at Heritage Woods. She was a true example of a Christian woman, and I look forward to seeing her in eternity.
Kevin & Susan , our deepest Love &Prayers for your loss of a wonderful Mother & friend . May Gods Grace carry you thru this trying time love & prayers Fred & Martha Ayers
