Obituary of Marva A. R. Love

A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Marva Attoinette Rozier Love was born to Wellington Rozier and Vera Mae Tucker Seniors on October 6, 1941. She was a devoted mother who raised four very independent children – Wellington, Borris, Darlette and Latrece. Marva was a loyal sister to her siblings, Sonny, Patricia, Vernice and Lisa and she cherished her five adoring granddaughters, Daterria, Taylor, Chandler, Nia and Channon. A beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and cousin, Marva was often the thread that kept the family connected. Marva was an accomplished seamstress but later in life it was her passion for cooking that she enjoyed the most. She was famous for her irresistible red velvet cake, perfectly spiced sweet potato pies and signature seafood salad, all of which were favorite holiday requests from family and friends. She also loved gardening and spent countless hours attending her plants and flowers. A graduate of Stanton High School (1960), Marva kept in touch with many of her classmates and regularly attended class reunions and outings. Marva was a very active member of West Union Baptist Church for more than 25 years. She served on numerous church committees including the Beautification Committee and the Culinary Committee. She served as Secretary for Sunday School Class #1, President of Usher Board #1, and Senior Advisor for the Youth Usher Board. In addition she established the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Project at West Union Baptist Church. While she will be missed dearly by family and friends, we take comfort in knowing that her unwavering faith and love for the Lord will give her eternal peace. Marva’s memory and spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
