Mr. Marvin R. Cutler, 83, of Olive Branch, MS, passed away Sunday, January 10, 2021 at the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford, MS.  He was born in Grenada, MS on February 18, 1937.  Marvin loved growing up in Grenada and the fun times he shared with all his Finney aunts, cousins and friends.  He graduated from John Rundle High School in 1955 and from Mississippi State University in 1959 with a degree in Electrical Engineering.  After working for Westinghouse in Indianapolis, IN, he returned home to Mississippi, raising his daughters and starting his own business in Batesville.

After moving back to Grenada in 1973, Marvin joined All Saints' Episcopal Church as an active member, serving on the vestry and as Junior Warden.  While living in Olive Branch he was a member of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Southaven, where he was on the vestry and served as Senior Warden.  Marvin truly had a heart for those in need, often helping and encouraging others behind the scenes.

After retiring, Marvin enjoyed traveling, computer work and repairing antique radios.  He continued to embrace a menagerie of mismatched and beloved pets, and he enjoyed the company and love of his family and grandchildren.  Those who love him will miss his twinkling blue eyes, his sweet smile, and his fun-loving spirit.

A graveside service to celebrate his life will be held at 1:00 PM Thursday, January 14, 2021 at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Grenada, MS.  Social distancing/mask guidelines will be followed.  The Rev. Elizabeth Wheatley Jones will officiate the service.

Mr. Cutler was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Mary Finney Cutler and his father, Jack Cutler, his dear Finney aunts and uncles, and his first cousin and friend, Cas Heath, Jr.
