Marvin Robert Everhart, 87, Chewelah, Washington,
passed away unexpectedly on May 13, 2017. He was born in Bonners Ferry on June 2,
1929, to Perry and Pearl (Winslow) Everhart, the
youngest of eight children.
Marvin went to school in Bonner Ferry High
School, where he played on the football team and
graduated in 1947. He was drafted by the United
States Army and was stationed in Richland,
Washington. He married his high school
sweetheart, Ruth Lorraine Holmes, with whom they
would have three beautiful daughters, Darlene,
Zeta and Marcella.
After honorably serving his country and being
discharged, he began working for Power City
Electric in Hayden, and then for the Bonneville
Power Administration, moving his family to Grand
Coulee, Washington. The family stayed there
until Marcella graduated in 1969.
Afterwards, they moved to Sunnyside, Washington,
for many years. The family enjoyed many trips to
Canada including destinations to Creston and
Osoyoos, British Columbia.
Unfortunately an injury at work forced Marvin
into an early retirement at the age of 44.
Before his injury, he enjoyed to hunt and fish.
In 2002, they moved to Chewelah to be close to
his daughters.
Marvin enjoyed cheering on the Seahawks, but
what he truly loved to do was try his luck at
the poker tables. You would also be able to find
Marvin every Monday night down at the American
Legion for Pinochle.
Marvin was a very hard working man who loved his
family dearly.
Marvin was preceded in death by both parents,
his wife, Ruth, sisters Winnie, Viona and Betty.
brothers Ray, Victor, Merlin, Ivan and Pursell,
daughter Zeta Keel and grandsons Shane Caraway
and Adam Caraway.
He is survived by daughters Darlene Caraway and
Marcella (Juan) Delgado, both of Chewelah, and
granddaughters Tasha Caraway, Amy Caraway,
Clarissa Keel and Cassie Delgado.
