Marvin Ray Hinders was born on February 22, 1928 in Holland, IA, son of William Sr. and Hannah (Lindaman) Hinders. He was raised on a farm near Holland and attended school at Colfax #9. Marvin married Alice M. Stickfort on April 5, 1949 at the Lincoln Center Christian Reformed Church parsonage. Being born and raised on the farm, Marvin was always a farmer at heart. He worked as a farm hand for area farmers. In 1961, Marvin and Alice moved from Holland, IA to Reinbeck, IA. Marvin worked as a farm hand in the Reinbeck area until 1973, when he began working for Grundy County in county road maintenance. Marvin continued to work for Grundy Co. until his retirement in 1993. Marvin continued to work on a seasonal basis for Michael Freed.

Marvin enjoyed reading, chopping wood for the wood stove, going to Mike's for morning coffee with his friends. Marvin especially enjoyed his grandchildren and attending their school and sporting events. A favorite memory of Marvin and Alice would be their 50th wedding anniversary where they were surprised with a performance by the Interfaith Men's Chorus who Marvin and Alice followed and attended many concerts. Marvin was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Reinbeck where he was a past deacon and served as custodian for many years.
