Marvin is preceded in death by his daughter, Brenda Foley, who now welcomes him into eternal rest.
The Foley family wishes to extend gratitude to all friends and family who share in their mourning.  Marvin Lee Foley's presence will forever resonate in the hearts of those he touched.  As we bid him farewell, we find solace in the memories and the honorable life he led.
