Interment will be in the Country Cross Cemetery north of Glendive. Silha Funeral Home of Glendive has been entrusted with the arrangements. Marvin was born on September 23, 1930 in Sidney, Montana to his parents Glen and Beulah (Sturgis) Mitchell. He was born into a loving family of 12. He was raised and educated in Savage, Montana. Marvin worked on various farms in the area. He loved riding horses and getting into mischief with his siblings. Then on July 4th, 1950, Marvin took his sweetheart Beverly Whiteman on their first date and shortly after, married on November 16, 1950, in Glendive. Marvin began working at the railroad until he was drafted into the United States Army on September 28, 1951. Following his honorable discharge, Marvin returned home and began his career with the Montana Department of Transportation. During that time, he started his family. Marvin was a great dad and loved teaching his boys the ways of life. You could always find him tinkering on a dirt bike, tractor, etc. He was always a hard worker and even when he was caught taking a break, he was planning for the next project to be worked on. After twenty-six years with Montana Department of Transportation starting in Glendive and later Sidney and Richey, he retired, but not for long. Marvin later worked for Mitchells Mobile Moving, Fallon County Redi Mix and Makeeff Trucking to name a few. Later in life Marvin relocated to Fallon where you could find him tending to his big vibrant garden. He spent countless hours out there! If he wasn’t in the garden, he was probably in reading an Old Western Book with boxing on the TV. Marvin was a family man and loved the annual Mitchell reunions. All his siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, kids, and grandkids meant the world to him. He always made sure they knew that too, he never left without saying an “I love you” and “God Bless you.” Marvin would always pack around his big camera photographing those he loved, we are so thankful for all those precious memories he captured and was a part of! Some of our favorite times with him were spent sipping coffee and listening to all his stories of back in the day and boy were those some of the BEST stories! It’s not easy to sum up all those stories, amazing memories, and just how great of a man Marvin was. He will be missed dearly; He lived a long full life and blessed us with so many incredible memories that we will forever cherish. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Calvin and Larry, and one sister, Marilyn Jorgenson. He is survived by his wife, Beverly Mitchell of Fallon, four sons, Victor (Paulette) Mitchell of Glendive, Cameron (Dawn) Mitchell of Ronan, Montana, Anthony (Claire) Mitchell of Helena, Montana and Lonnie (Rene) Mitchell of Glendive; eighteen grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren, eight siblings, Katheryn Miller of Sidney, Stanley Mitchell of Darby, Montana, Eloise (John) Cullinan of Glendive, Shirley Bowlds of Beulah, North Dakota, Harriett Ames of Glendive, Everett (Viola) Mitchell of Glendive, Ron Mitchell of Stanley, North Dakota and Ervin (Darlene) Mitchell of Glendive and numerous nieces and nephews.
