Theodore "Alvin" Marr

MARR, Theodore Alvin, passed away peacefully in Tideview Terrace, Digby, on October 17, 2021 just days shy of his 81st birthday. He was born in Hassett but later moved to New Tusket where he remained and raised his family. Alvin was a son of the late Albert and Garnetta (Mullen) Marr.

Alvin had a mink farm with his son Terry for about 10 years. He was also a member of the New Tusket Baptist Church.

Alvin loved being outdoors, he enjoyed hunting, camping, cutting logs and firewood, going for walks with Verna or just driving around on his four wheeler. Music was also a big part of his life. With Verna by his side and guitar in hand, they spent many weekends singing and camping with their friends or enjoying Bluegrass festivals somewhere.

Alvin loved his family very much. He was a wonderful husband, dad and grandfather.
