Marvin Richard Carr

Marvin Richard Carr, 90, of Charles City, Iowa, passed away peacefully April 6, 2023, at Floyd County Memorial Hospital.

Marvin was the son of Howard and Gladys Carr. He is survived by his wife of 66 wonderful years, Mitzie (Immer) Carr, and two sons Brian (Teresa) Carr of Cedar Falls and Bruce (Linda) Carr of Floyd, Iowa. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Jeff Carr, Meghan (Casey) Mallory, Christie (Tyson) Roberts, Justin (Chelsea) Carr, Hannah (Taylor) Kemp, Josiah Carr, and Brodie Carr, along with 11 great-grandchildren, and a sister, Alice Larson..

He was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Gladys, and brothers, H. Allen, Keith, and Kenneth Carr.

Marvin was born Sept. 9, 1932, in Carrville, Iowa, on the dining room table. He served in the U.S. Army in Sendai, Japan, following the Korean War for two years as a high speed radio operator. Upon discharge, Marvin went home and married the love of his life, Mitzie. He worked at Salsbury Labs as a lab technician for 30½  years until his retirement in 1994.

After retirement, Marvin enjoyed his hobby of carpentry and woodworking for his family, friends, church, and community and used that skill to bless people up until his passing.

Even though Mitzie was the love of his life, his first love was always his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A memorial service will be held at a later time when Marvin’s grandson, Josiah, can be home from the military.

Marvin would like everyone to know that Heaven is only attainable through the salvation of Jesus Christ.
