MARVIN ROWE SLOAN

Funeral services for Marvin Rowe Sloan, 79, of Sterlington, will be held at 
2:00 PM Friday, January 11, 2013, at Lea Joyner Memorial United Methodist 
Church with Revs. Betty Swanson, Larry O'Dell, Gleason Copeland, and Bruce 
McGee officiating. Interment will follow at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery 
under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe.

Mr. Sloan entered the gates of Heaven in the early morning hours of Wednesday, 
January 9, 2013. In 1953, Marvin married the love of his life, Joyce Dell 
Evans and began his life-long journey of taking care of his family. He and 
Joyce have been blessed with two children, seven grandchildren, and six great 
grandchildren during their sixty year marriage. Marvin started working for 
Safeway Grocery in Little Rock, AR, also in 1953, and retired from 
Safeway /Harvest Foods in 1991, after working in Arkansas and Louisiana.

Family was very important to Marvin, and he was happiest when all of his 
family could be home for a visit. He loved it when the grandchildren and great 
grandchildren would want "Paw" to do something with them or in many cases for 
them. He and "Nonnie" would take the grandchildren camping or have them pile 
up at their house for the weekend. He built clubhouses and put together many 
toys in his lifetime as a dad and Paw. In his late years, he enjoyed driving 
the great grandchildren around in the golf cart.

Mr. Sloan was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Sutah Sloan; and 
son-in-law, Randy Self.

Survivors include his wife, Joyce Evans Sloan; daughter, Suzy Sloan; son and 
daughter-in-law, Marvin Douglas and Nell Sloan; grandchildren, Shana Wade 
Bourgeois and husband Dave, Greg Self, Amanda Wood and Billy Oglesby, Matthew 
and Andrew Sloan, Jennifer Jones and husband Billy, and Gene Wood; great 
grandchildren, Kolby and Kaden Bourgeois, Jacob and Thomas Oglesby, and Randy 
and Hannah Jones; sisters, Doris Robertson and Wanda Karnes.

Visitation will be Thursday from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral 
Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe.

Memorials may be made to M. D. Anderson Foundation, P.O. Box 4464, Houston, TX 
77210-4464.
