Obituary: Marvin Sundquist

Marvin Sundquist was a wonderful man who loved God, family, his community, the Valley and nature.

He had a big heart for education, music and the arts and the field of agriculture.

Marvin was a lifelong learner and was always ready to share his knowledge with others.

On August 29, 2015 at Cottage in the Meadow, Marvin’s heart, well used living life to it’s fullest, working, serving and playing, completed it’s work.

Marvin was born to Ralph and Elaine Sundquist at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Yakima on April 9, 1926.
