Marvin Danny Hunter, son of Charles Henry and Sylvia Elizabeth (Hardin) Hunter, entered this life on July 2, 1943 at New Hope, Missouri. His childhood years were spent around Elsberry, Missouri and the surrounding communities. He had a happy childhood in a family of 13 children. On April 4, 1964, Marvin married Gloria Miller at Elsberry. To this union five children were born. In 1972, Marvin and Gloria moved their family to Sarcoxie, Missouri where Marvin went to work for Gene Taylor Ford. He later started his own business, Hunter's Road Service, where he worked until ill health forced him to quit working. Marvin loved people. He enjoyed visiting the Sarcoxie Nursing Home and liked to regularly have coffee in the mornings with his friends. Marvin was a member of the Wesleyan Holiness Alliance in Diamond, Missouri. He loved to tell people how he got saved in his greasy old workshop. He was a board member of, and Treasurer for, the Seneca Holiness Camp at Seneca, Missouri. This was something that was dear to his heart. Marvin went to Heaven on December 12, 2011 at his home in Sarcoxie, surrounded by his family who loved him. Left to mourn his passing is his wife of 47 years, Gloria. He is also survived by son, Danny Hunter and wife Tanya of Sarcoxie; daughter, Patricia and husband Mike Jackson and by daughter, Kimberly Hunter, all of Port Angeles, Washington; by daughter, Christy and husband Mike Hext of Joplin, Missouri; and by daughter, Becky Hunter and companion Kris Barnard of Sarcoxie.
