FOREST CITY - Marvin P. Juhl, 91, of Forest City, died on Wednesday, December 18, 2013, at the Good Samaritan Center in Forest City.

Marvin Paul Juhl, the son of Melvin and Clara (Olson) Juhl, was born on September 4, 1922, on a farm northeast of Miller. At an early age, he moved with his family to the Juhl farm south of Miller. He attended school at Miller until the fifth grade when the family moved into Forest City. In 1940, he graduated from Forest City High School. Then, he worked at Olson Furniture in Forest City.

During World War II, Marvin served his country in the U.S. Army as a tank commander in the 20th Armored Division. Following his discharge in February of 1945, he returned to Forest City and again worked at Olson Furniture where he met his future wife, Doris. On May 18, 1947, he married Doris Hall at Ellington Prairie Lutheran Church southeast of Miller. They made their home in Forest City their entire married life. Marvin owned and operated Forest City Floor Covering until he retired in 1985. He enjoyed golfing, bowling, reading, and spending time with his family. He will be most remembered for his rock collecting and lapidary.

He was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church and the Forest City American Legion. He also served for many years on the Forest City Library Board.

Marvin is survived by his wife, Doris, of Forest City; his four children, Randy (Renée) Juhl, of Glenshaw, Pennsylvania, Tom (Stacie) Juhl, of Bloomfield, Marcia (Travis) Brunsvold, of Bettendorf, and Rick (Ann) Juhl, of Surprise, Arizona; his grandchildren: Nicole (Brian) Bradley; Jesse Brunsvold; Annette (Josh) Fox; Amy (Molly Mann), Derek, Eric (Kelly), Jason, Jason (Alison), and Katy Juhl; and Stephanie (Jon) Thomas; and six great-grandchildren; as well as by many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Robert Juhl.

The family of Marvin wishes to thank the staff at the Good Samaritan Center in Forest City, Hospice of North Iowa, and, especially, Sue Reece for their wonderful care.
