Marvin Lee Huling, Sr. went home to be with Jesus on April 14, 2013. Marvin passed away at the home of his daughter Mary and her family, in Casper, Wyoming, where he had lived for the past three years. Marvin was born July 31, 1932 in Nampa, Idaho to Oren George and Mary Esther Huling as the youngest of seven children. He attended grade school through high school in Nampa. He then joined the National Guard and eventually the U.S. Navy in 1950, proudly serving his country during the Korean Conflict. He served on the U.S.S. Anderson for four years and during that time met Letha Madelyn Saltsman. They married on November 28, 1952, and when Marvin was discharged, they moved to Nampa. They welcomed a son, Marvin Lee, Jr. on November 15, 1955. The marriage ended soon after, and Madelyn and Marvin Jr. moved to Pennsylvania and eventually Louisiana. After some time, Marvin met, courted and eventually married Lettie Potts, on February 14, 1961 in Redmond, Oregon. They made their home in Nampa, and Stephen joined the family on July 10, 1963. Mary was born on October 19, 1965.
When discharged from the Navy, Marvin began working in Idaho First National Bank and through the years worked at Treasure Valley Bank and then retired from Key Bank. He was always involved in church and civic activities. He was a member of First Church of the Nazarene, and served for many years as a church board member, church treasurer, Boy Scout leader, and bus driver to transport children and disabled adults to and from church. He also served as a school board member and after retiring, as a bus driver for Nampa Christian Schools for many years. He was a member of Civitan, and volunteered at the Stampede Rodeo and the Pancake Breakfast for years. After retiring, Marvin and his brother Chester volunteered at the front desk of Mercy Medical Center.
Marvin cared for his wife Lettie for approximately five years until her death on May 8, 2001. They were able to celebrate their fortieth wedding anniversary on February 14, 2001.
Marvin was preceded in death by his parents, and his brothers and sisters, Orville, Fred, Ruth, Myrtle, Grace and Chester. He is survived by his children, Marvin (Red) Huling, Jr. and wife Shan of Gretna, Louisiana, Stephen Huling and wife Sheila of Nampa, and Mary (Huling) Bliss and husband Jarvis of Casper. He regretfully leaves his much loved grandchildren, Jason and wife Jana, Jennifer, Christopher, Zachary and wife Krysta, Courtney, Joshua, and Daniel. He also regrets to leave his great-grandchildren Evan and Wyatt and another great-grandchild soon to be born. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Maxine Huling, nieces, nephews and their children.
The family wishes to thank Marvin's caregivers, Gail Kennah, Linda Lensert, Marsha Shirley, Donna Cagley, and Jeffery Casper for their dedicated and loving care to Marvin. Also, thank you to Sandy, R.N. and the other Hospice care providers for your care to Marvin.
