Marvin Wade Bolton

Marvin was born Nov. 5, 1944, in Barbour County, a son of Walter “Slim” Wade and Margaret Reta (Wagner) Bolton.

Marvin was united in marriage on June 20, 1964, to Pauline Mae (Booth) Bolton.

Marvin was a member of the Barbour Church of Christ. He was the owner and operator of Bolton’s Plumbing and Heating for over 25 years and later worked as the supervisor of the maintenance department for the WV Correctional Service.

Marvin cherished his family and absolutely adored his grandchildren and great granddaughter. During the summer months he would spend countless hours with his granddaughter looking through the telescope at the stars. Marvin enjoyed woodworking, ride mowing his lawn, and loved to go camping. He was known as the bird whisper, and he took great pride in his fishpond. He was the Jack of all Trades and master of many.

Marvin is survived by his loving wife, Pauline Bolton; children, Becky Grimes and husband, Joseph, and Belinda Johnson and husband, GT; grandchildren, Jessica Cecil and husband, Jackson, Samantha Johnson and Olivia Grimes; great-grandchildren, Juliet Cecil and Tyler Roy; sisters, Waunita Hatmaker and husband, Charles, and Loretta Wilmoth and husband, William; several brothers- and sisters -in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Marvin was preceded in death by his parents, Walter “Slim” and Margaret Bolton; mother-in-law, Virginia Booth, whom he adored; sister- and brother-in-law, Louise Bennett and husband, Delbert; brother, Albert Bolton; and close friend, Bucky Poling.

A private service will be held at the convenience of the family.
