Marvin Ray Manes

He is survived by his wife, Carol, of 68 years, and four children. William and his wife Sue from Winlock, Washington, and daughter Teena from Kuai, Hawaii. A son Allen and his wife, Sheila, from Salkum, Washington, a daughter Pamie Bolt and husband, Bryan of Beaverton, Oregon, and a sister of Blaine Washington. He and Carol shared four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Marvin graduated from Stites, Idaho, in 1953, and in 1954 he married Carol Baker in Clarkston, Washington. He and Carol lived in the Clearwater, Idaho area until 1959, then moved to Bandon, Oregon, where they raised their family.

Marvin was a hard-working man with a great sense of humor. He greatly loved his family and enjoyed the time they spent together.

Marvin worked for the Rogge Lumber Company for 21 years and held the Head Sawyer position. For the first four years after leaving the sawmill, he owned log trucks; from there, he and Carol bought cranberry bogs and, for 27 years, raided berries for Ocean Spray.

Marvin and Carol were owners of the Style Shop in Banon for 11 years, and during that time, they built Marv's Men's Wear.

Marvin loved to travel, and because of that, he learned to fly in North Bend at Coos Aviation. He later acquired three different planes and loved to fly.

In 2004 Marvin and Carol sold the cranberry bogs and relocated to Ocean Shores, Washington, to be closer to family. They stayed in Ocean Shores for 11 years, then moved to Centralia Washington for better weather.

Marvin had his hobbies over the years, like fishing, hunting, flying, and traveling. If one presented itself, he was never known to turn down a good Cribbage game. But the most important pastime for Marvin was spending time with family.
