Marvin returned to Colfax and resumed work in the grocery business, followed by work in apartment and real estate management and maintenance, eventually re-locating to Spokane.

A good mechanic, he could make anything run and was always willing to assist people having trouble making, things work. The outdoors were of great interest to him and he boated most of our inland waterways, lakes and Puget Sound. These activities were artfully recorded in his photos, whose short captions reveal his wry understated wit. He was a good man and his friends and relatives cherish their memories of him. Survivors names omitted per findagrave policy. Marvin was preceded in death by his wife Wanda and his brother Arthur Olsen. Funeral Mass will be Wednesday, June 18, at 1:00 PM at St Patrick's Catholic Church in Colfax. Father Felix Luryc will officiate and vault interment will follow at the Colfax Cemetery.
