Mr. Marvin Hougen of Foremost, beloved husband of Mrs. Pauline Hougen (nee Karl), passed away at the Bow Island Long Term Care Centre on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at the age of 94 years.

Besides his loving wife, Pauline of 67 years, Marvin is survived by his sister Myrtle Allison of Lethbridge; sisters-in-law Dolores (Charlie), Delores (Arne), and Isabella (Magnus); as well as numerous special nieces and nephews.

Marvin was predeceased by his mother Esther and father Charles; son Lorn; brothers Palmer, Engwald (Steva), Tryve (Peggy), Magnus, Arne and Charlie; nephew Larry; and brother-in-law Stu Allison.

Marvin and Pauline spent many winter months in Arizona enjoying the sunshine and always attending the National Rodeo Finals in Vegas. He enjoyed farm life and truly loved the land as shown in his gardening. Many hours were spent in his garden, growing the largest watermelons, strawberries, and pumpkins.

His generosity was second to none. Marvin’s humor and story telling will be missed by many.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm, on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at the Foremost Community Hall.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Foremost Community Hall, 802 1 Ave W, Foremost AB T0K 0X0.
