Marvin Wayne was born on Christmas day, 1939, in Wewoka, Oklahoma to Willie May and Luther Harris. He was raised in Sasakwa, Oklahoma and attended elementary school at Cully School. After his mother's death, he moved to Oklahoma City to live with his Mama and Pappa Ashely for his junior/senior high school education at Crooked Oak High School. After his graduation in 1958, he was offered a full basketball scholarship and attended Central State College (re-named UCO) and earned his degree in 1962. During his college years, he married his high school sweetheart, Pat Long, and they have shared sixty-two years together-two years of dating and sixty-years as husband and wife. Marvin was an outstanding athlete in multiple sports and loved competing.
After receiving his college degree he taught school and coached basketball, football, baseball and track at Del City High School, Clovis, New Mexico and sales for Acme Brick for twenty years. His summers were spent playing fast pitch softball. This was his favorite time as the softball family shared twenty years, from coast to coast. He was included into the Oklahoma Softball Hall of Fame in 1986. Marvin was a very proud grandpa and the "best fan" following his grandchildren's athletic careers during their school years in the Moore school system. During the summer breaks from school he coached his three granddaughters in slow pitch softball from ages 8 to 16. He was very fortunate to see all of them compete and win multiple national and world tournaments. He had a very tender, loving heart for all of his family and his 4-legged friends: BeBe, Fatboy and Stormy. He is survived by his wife, Pat and daughter Tami Gale Padgett and husband Greg Padgett, who blessed him with four grandchildren: Greg Padgett II & wife Brittany, Felicia Dawn Padgett Epp and husband Brock, Amanda Nicole Padgett and Patricia Marie Padgett who in turn blessed him with six great grandchildren: Greg Padgett III, Draden Padgett, Tristen Epp, Shiloh Epp, Sebastian Epp and Axel Ray. He is also survived by several cousins from both the Ashely and Harris families: W.C., Norma Jean Imogene, Barbara Sue and Lousie, are a few of his cousins with whom he spent most of his younger years. The family would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses at Oklahoma Heart Hospital South for their excellent care given to Marvin during his several hospital stays these last three years. Funeral service will be conducted by Clint Cain in the chapel at Sunnylane Funeral Home, Wednesday, December 11, at 10:00 A.M. Interment will follow in Sunnylane Cemetery.
