Marvin was born June 30, 1946, the youngest son of Luetta (Colson) and Joe Divis. Marvin was a hard worker. He worked several years at First Avenue Plymouth and Kieck's Clothing Store. In 2013, he retired after 22 years of working for Hy-Vee and Drugtown on 32nd Street. He was honored with his photo featured on the side of a Hy-Vee delivery truck.
Marvin knew everyone and would greet you with the biggest smile. He would help anyone in need and always was willing to lend a hand.
He loved watching NASCAR and was a big Richard Petty fan. He loved the Hawkeyes and Mickey Mouse. He was quite the artist; he painted, cross stitched and drew. He loved to sit with you and put challenging puzzles together.
He is survived by his sister, Betty (Ron) Stockman; brother, Bob (Ronay) Divis; nieces, Marilyn, Connie and Stephanie; nephew, Chad; great-nephew, Chris; great-nieces, Samantha, Megan, Alissa and Treasure; great-great-nephews, Ethan, Collin and Jaylen; and great-
great-nieces, Eliana, Eden and Arabella.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Luetta Divis; his brother, Larry Divis; and nephew, Roger Stockman.
A memorial fund has been established in Marvin's name.
