Marvin H. Coursey

Augusta, GA – Entered into rest Monday, July 1, 2013, Mr. Marvin H. Coursey, Jr., 91, husband of the late Marjorie Hammack Coursey.

Mr. Coursey was a lifelong resident of Augusta. He was a veteran of WWII serving in the US Army 30th Infantry Division in the Normandy Invasion at Omaha Beach. He retired in 1988 from Phoenix Oil Company. His passion was the music ministry that he led in many area churches over the years, the last being New Heights Baptist from which he retired after 15 years. The family delights in knowing that he is with his Lord and Savior and is singing with the angels.
A special thanks to the staff at Elmcroft for their love and care for the last 3 years.
