Marva Lynn Paul

Marva Lynn Cummings Paul Harmon, age 61, of Water Valley, MS went to her forever home Friday, October 14, 2022 at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo, MS after an extended illness. She was born September 5, 1961, in New Jersey to Hassell and Peggy (Green) Cummings.

After graduating from Water Valley High School, Marva continued her education at North West and ultimately graduated from Ole Miss with both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree. She was certified in sign language and worked with the hearing impaired through the State of Mississippi's Vocational Rehabilitation program. A job she would retire from in 2012 after thirty plus years of service. Marva is described by her family as a loving, caring, passionate, forgiving and devoted person. And her devotion was not only to her family, but extended to all areas of her life as she made it her mission to help others. When not working, she loved to cook, especially her turkey and dressin' which was a family favorite. She also enjoyed gardening, shopping and traveling. The family always knew when she said, "we're going on an adventure" to be prepared to find themselves in unknown areas of the countryside. She will be greatly missed.

Visitation is planned for Tuesday, October 18, 2022, at Gardiner Room at Seven Oaks Funeral Home from 12:00 Noon until 2:00 PM. A Funeral Service honoring her life will follow at 2:00 PM with Dr. Randy Bain officiating. Burial will follow in Camp Ground Cemetery with Andy Paul, Jeremy Patterson, Josh Thweatt, Kever Lewis, Joe Lewis and Keith Brown serving as Pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Joey Paul, Ryan Paul, Dean Cummings and Hank Cummings.

Marva is survived by her husband Kenny Harmon; three sons, Andy Paul, Joey Paul, Ryan Paul; four step-children, Mandy Harmon, Chris Harmon, Valerie Lovett, Beverly Wing; one sister, Susan Lewis (Joe), two brothers, Dean Cummings, Hank Cummings (Susan Diane); seven grandchildren, Whitt Paul, Mary Kate Newman, Adam Paul, Dillon Paul, Madison Paul, Savannah Paul, Emily Paul; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Marva was preceded in death by both of her parents.
