Marvin was born on May 8, 1924, to Jess and Susie Landers.  He married 
Snookye Bell on July 31, 1948.  They joined the First Baptist Church of 
Bronte on February 16, 1947, and were baptized together by the 
Rev. Reuben Blake.  They had many beautiful years together and were so 
fortunate to share that time with their daughter, Paula Jane and her family.  
She and her family were one of their  greatest joys in life.

Pallbearers will be James Tidwell, Bill Thomas, Wayne Coalson, 
James Lynn Vaughn, Ray Barnett and Kyle Donaldson.  Honorary pallbearers are 
Royce Fancher and Harold Halfmann.
 
He was preceded in death by his parents; three sisters, Edna Florence, 
Velma Hall, and Mildred Lee; along with one brother, Jerry Landers.
 
Marvin is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Snookye Landers of Bronte; 
his daughter, Paula Jane McGinley of San Angelo; his grandson, Blake Rolls 
and his wife Nicole; his grandsons, Ashton and Avery all of San Angelo; his 
sister, Mattie McKay of Clyde, Texas; his nephews, J. O. Landers, Jody Luttrell, 
Max Luttrell, and Jason Donaldson; his nieces, Elaine Donaldson and her husband 
Kyle of Sonora, Traci Hart, Sandra, Susan and Sally.  There are two very special 
friends that we have counted on for so long and they are Gene Allen Sherrod 
and Sissy Burson.  They are our family.
 
The family wishes to give special thanks to Dr. Anderton and the special staff 
at Meadow Creek Nursing Home for taking such good care of Pa.
 
We love you Pa and will all see you again one day.  You will always be with us 
and will remain in our hearts forever.
