Marvin Bell Cravens

On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at 9:35 PM, Marvin Bell Cravens of Coweta, Oklahoma, was reunited in eternity with his Lord and Savior, and his lifelong sweetheart Kathleen, after almost two years of missing her every day.

Marvin was born on May 28, 1936, in Weakley County, Tennessee, to Haynes and Opal Cravens. He was preceded in death by both parents, his loving wife Kathleen, brother Donald, and three sisters, Mary, Martha, and Pat. He went peacefully after an extended illness, finding comfort in the sound of Bob Ross' voice, and slipped away to watch Kathleen paint again.

Marvin is survived by his son, Andy and daughter, Jennifer, 3 granddaughters, 4 great granddaughters, and a whole host of extended family and family in law through which his antics and stories about mules , music, and mischief will live on. To the Miller family, we thank you and count you as part of ours.

Marvin was everything all at once... a handyman, a foreman, a farmer, a businessman, but his heart lived to sing and tell stories, a tradition and legacy we are all thankful for, as the music and stories he so freely shared will never leave us. We ask that in lieu of flowers, you have a cup of coffee on your porch and a long overdue chat with someone you love.

A memorial service celebrating Marvin’s life will be from 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM on Saturday, June 22, 2025 at Marvin’s residence.

Family and friends are invited to share memories online at www.brownfamilycares.com. The family of Marvin Bell Cravens entrusted his care and cremation to Brown Funeral Home & Cremations, 210 S. Broadway, Coweta, OK 74429, 918-486-5515.
