Marvene was born on September 2, 1935 in Reidsville, North Carolina. She was raised in Astoria, Queens, New York and graduated from William Cullen Bryant High School in Astoria. She met Robert during a trip to visit an Aunt in Clearwater, Florida. They married and raised their family in Fort Pierce, Florida. Marvene was employed at the St. Lucie County Property Appraisers office for over 25 years. She loved her job and the many friends she made during her time there. After retiring, they moved to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Marvene enjoyed a good laugh and will be remembered fondly for her positive attitude in spite of many many years of physical pain.
She will be missed by her brothers and their families, especially her niece and nephews who were always so good and loving to her.
A private service will be held when we are able to safely gather together.
