Marvin Francis Pick was born January 24, 1931, to Andrew and Mary (Poeckes) Pick. He was raised on a farm near Remsen and attended St. Mary’s Catholic School, graduating in 1948. He was united in marriage to Rosemary Heuertz in 1951 and farmed near Remsen with their 6 children until 1968. The family moved to Marcus after purchasing a farm north of town. In 1985, Rosie passed away and Marvin moved into Marcus, continuing to help farm. He married MaDonna (Frank) Robinette and they lived in Marcus until moving to the Heartland Care Center this past March.

Marvin was a member of Holy Name Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed golf, bowling, riding his bike (which included a few days on RAGBRAI), woodworking and traveling with Donna to visit her family. He loved to talk and could visit with anyone, but his favorite time was sitting at the table sharing his knowledge of family and friends.
