Marvis Watkins Obituary Marvis Watkins went home to be with the Lord on June 28, 2017. She was reunited with her loving husband Ernie who passed away on January 21, 2008. She was peacefully surrounded by her family. Marvis was 91 years old.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Ernie Watkins and son Rick Pettyjohn. Marvis was born on February 15, 1926 in Darfur Minnesota. She lived most of her adult life in the Spokane area. Marvis greatest pleasure in life was spending time with family and friends. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother who always made family her priority. She spent many weekends at her mountain property near Sandpoint, Idaho enjoying the outdoors, great conversations around the campfire and lively pinochle games! She took many trips with Ernie throughout the years and especially loved her Minnesota family reunions. One of Marvs greatest pleasures over the years was gardening and filling her yard with beautiful flowers at her home in Otis Orchards. She was also an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching the Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings and occasionally attending a Mariner game while visiting her children in Seattle. She will be greatly missed by all her knew her but we take comfort in knowing she is with the Lord and back with Ernie. A funeral is scheduled for Wednesday, July 5th at 2:00 P.M. at Heritage Funeral Home, with reception following. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice of Spokane, 121 S. Arthur, P.O. Box 2215, Spokane, WA 99210-2215. � To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Marvis, please visit our Tree Store. Read more Events JUN 28
