Kathy O'Donnell Marvin

Kathy O'Donnell Marvin passed into the arms of the Father on June 5, 2025, at the age of 70. A beloved wife, mother, and friend, she leaves behind her husband, Carroll “Chappy” Marvin, and daughters, Rachel Lewis and Rose Marvin.

Kathy lived a bold, adventurous life rooted in passion, purpose, and perseverance. She pursued her education at Texas Tech University and New Mexico State University-Alamogordo and built a successful career as a real estate broker and agent.

An expert skier, Kathy was a black diamond trailblazer, instructor, and pacesetter in Angel Fire, New Mexico. She brought that same fearless spirit to everything she did-whether on the slopes, in business, or in life.

Kathy had a special love for all birds, but the flamingo held a particular place in her heart. She often said, “When life gets rough, remember to put down your other foot”-a motto that reflects her grace, balance, and quiet strength.

A sunset celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 14, at 7:30 PM. If you know the Marvin Ranch, you have the invite.

She will be missed beyond words and remembered always-with love, light, and flamingo pink.

The Marvin family has entrusted their loved one to the care of Alamogordo Funeral Home.
