Marvin Louis Edwards, 69, of Pelham, GA, passed away at home. He received his education from the public schools of Mitchell County, GA. Marvin owned and managed Marvin’s Limousine Service in New York, NY, and then Peach State Sedans in Atlanta, GA. When life around him faltered, he started over with his “white shoes” and maintained fastidious outfits.

He celebrated with classmates from the Mitchell County High School Class of ‘72 as often as he could. In his spare time, Marvin loved cultivating his garden of vegetables and pruning his different fruit trees. Ownership of several vinyl R&B collector album series from that era kept him playing that music and dancing. He was a natural poet at an early age and wrote beautiful sonnets and ballads.

Marvin was preceded in death by his brothers, Daniel Edwards, Frank Edwards, and Freddie Edwards. He leaves to cherish his memories his daughter, Brandi Louise Edwards (Ivan); parents, Lucille Spence Edwards and Ellis Mills (Christine); he is also survived by his sisters, Lucy Ann Edwards and Lorraine Mills of Camilla, GA, Geraldine Mills Hambrick of Atlanta, GA, Rebecca Johnson (Addison), and Vanda Jenkins (William) of Tallahassee, FL; one brother, David Lee Edwards of Brooklyn, New York; uncle, James Spence of Camilla, GA; aunt, Sarah Mills of Camilla, GA; along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Meadows Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
