Marvin Ehrlich Wilson, age 94, passed away on October 31, 2017 at Brookdale Clermont. Son of Maude & Toby Wilson, he was born on April 30, 1923 in Swainsboro, Georgia. He grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, where he still has family, and served in the United States Navy during the Pacific Ocean Theater of World War II. After being honorably discharged in 1946, he moved to Washington, D.C. where he met, through mutual friends, his lifetime love, Mary Elizabeth Catterton. They married in October 1947 and were blessed with 66 years together before her death in 2013. After a brief time at Lorillard Tobacco Company in Miami, Marvin began his 35-year career as an insurance agent with Independent Life. He and Mary relocated to Clermont, Florida in 1975 and were long-time members of First Baptist Church of Clermont. Over the decades they enjoyed over 30 cruises and spending time with their extended family.
