Obituary for Bobby Ray Marvel
November 9th, 1934- March 14, 2022
Bobby Ray Marvel went to be with our Lord and Savior on Monday, March 14, 2022,

Bobby was born in Hartman Arkansas on November 9th, 1934 to Jettie and Vira Marvel. He grew up in Clarksville AR and met Anna Faye Landthrip, his future bride, while attending Clarksville High School. Upon graduating from high school, Bobby enrolled at College of the Ozarks. In 1952 Bobby enlisted in the U.S. Army. He and Anna were married in 1956 and began their adventure of raising their family while serving their country. After serving on active duty for 12 years, Bobby began a 30+ year civilian career with GTE in the field of telecommunications. Upon retiring, Bob and Anna enjoyed camping, travel, movies and sports events (and yes, Bobby was a big sport fan of his children, grandchildren, and the Arkansas Razorbacks!) Unknown to many, he loved to sing karaoke but, within the family, he is most famous for his chocolate gravy served on a fresh morning breakfast biscuit. He will be missed.

Bobby is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Norman
Those left behind to cherish his memories are his wife of 65 years, Anna Faye;
Sons: Bobby Jr. and wife Sandy, Scott and wife Vanessa, Tommy and wife Merritt;
Brothers Jerry and wife Wendy, Paul and wife Shirley, and Sister Betty Sue DeMeyer and husband Bob,
Grandchildren: Bryan, Brent, Lindsay, Aaron, Lance, Laykin, Blake, and Brody,
