Obituary - Marvin Westover

Marvin Dexter Westover, born May 5, 1938, in Butler, Missouri, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2025, at the age of 87, in Grove Oklahoma.

Marvin served his country in the United States Navy. Following his service he was co-owner and operator of a local sawmill in Butler Missouri and later worked as a golf course maintenance mechanic in Arizona, bringing practicality, skill, and a steady work ethic to every job he held.

Marvin was a lifelong follower of Christ whose spiritual walk brought him the greatest joy. He was a dedicated Sunday School teacher for more than 60 years and was always deeply involved in his local Assembly of God church wherever he lived. As stated in II Timothy, Marvin was ready “in season and out of season” to share his faith and the love of God, living out that calling with patience, humility, and gentle conviction.

Marvin and Mary Louise moved to Grove, Oklahoma in 2021. Marvin is survived by the Love of his Life, Mary Louise Westover; his daughter, Crystal Capps and her husband David Capps; his son, Jedidiah Westover and his wife Melissa Westover; and four grandchildren who were a continual source of joy to him. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Joyce Westover, and his brother Ivan Westover, and is also survived by his sisters Freda Reinke, Buelah Epperson, and Ruth Douglas.

Marvin will be remembered for his unwavering faith, his lifelong commitment to teaching and serving others, and the quiet strength and kindness with which he lived.
