of 1016

The following is the obit of Robert Earl Marvin which was posted in The Post and Courier, Charleston, SC Wednesday, June 27, 2001
He was my husband's cousin.

MARVIN, Robert
A native of Colleton County, SC, he was the son of W. R. Marvin and Alta E. Marvin. He was predeceased by a son, Earle R. Marvin. He is survived by his wife, Anna Lou Carrington Marvin, a daughter Alta Mae Marvin and her children, John, Caroline and Wesley Henderson of Walterboro, a daughter-in-law, Sherry Marvin Hughes and her children, Will and Wade Marvin of White Hall, S.C., and two great-grandsons.
Marvin, an internationally recognized landscape architect, concentrated his work in the South. He was awarded numerous national and regional design awards. He has been recognized by his profession by being elected as a Fellow into the American Society of Landscape Architects and by receiving the ASLA's Premier Honor, the Gold Medal Award to be presented in September of this year.
The state of South Carolina recognized Marvin's contributions by presenting him with the State's two highest honors: the Order of the Palmetto and inclusion in the South Carolina Hall of Fame. He was also recognized for his contributions to the arts with the elizabeth O'Neil Verner Award presented by the S.C. Arts Commission. He was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church and a number of organizations and boards.
After graduating from Clemson University in 1941, Marvin served as a Captain in the U.S. Army in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. He studied landscape architecture at the University of Georgia. Both universities have recognized Marvin with distinguished Alumni honors.
Graveside services were held Wednesday, June 27, 2001, in Live Oak Cemetery, Walterboro, SC directed by Fred Parker Funeral Home.

The following is an editorial from The Post and Courier on Sunday, July 8, 2001:
ROBERT E. MARVIN
During a carer that spanned five decades, an unassuming native of Walterboro, SC made his mark as one of America's foremost landscape architects. Ill for several years, Robert E. Marvin continued to develop plans he hoped would enhance lives until shortly before his death.
Earlier this year, Mr. Marvin received the state's highest honor for his work-induction into the SC Hall of Fame. His daughter, who made the presentation, told the laughing audience that her father had imposed only one condition on her speech:"Don't talk about me."
But those who knew Robert Marvin weren't surprised he would make such a request. He was known not only for his talent, but for his gracious nature and his humility.
That talent was recognized early in his career. A graduate of Clemson University who did graduate work at the University of Georgia, Mr. Marvin won his first national award for a Charleston project. A bank parking lot in the heart of the historic district had been controversial until Mr. Marvin made it compatible with its surroundings. Walled with old Charleston brick and complete with a patio, the project won the National Industrial Landscaping Award, the first of its kind to be presented to a SC firm and landscaper.
He went on to win scores of national environmental landscape prizes. In fact, he received awards at the White House from every first lady, from Pat Nixon to Hillary Clinton.
While he lectured nationwide, his work was primarily in the Southeast. He once told an interviewer that his goal was "to save the South from destruction."
His hand can be seen, for example, in the grounds of the Governor's Mansion and Capitol complex as well as major parks around the state, including Beaufort and Columbia.
He also developed the master plan for the state's birthplace, Charles Towne Landing. Among his many other area projects are the East Cooper Palmetto Island park and the Brittlebank and Adger's Wharf parks in the city.
Other high profile endeavors include his work at Hilton Head and Callaway Gardens in Georgia. Before his death, he was advised he would receive the American Society of Landscape Architects' prized Gold Medal Award this fall.
For Robert Marvin, work was its own reward. His wife of 54 years, Anna Lou Marvin, can't remember a day when he wasn't excited about the challenge ahead.
He once told an interviewer that he felt a human being deserved an environment that allowed him to develop "as a healthy person, to the fullest extent physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually." And he described his mission as a shaper of an environment where "man can be as full a human being as God intended." Robert Marvin was, indeed, a full man.

Marvin's all over the world can be proud of one of our very own.
