Edward Anthony Marn

Edward Anthony Marn passed away peacefully on December 1, 2025, at Madison Rehab and

Nursing Home, at the age of 93 in Morgantown, West Virginia. Born on December 26, 1931, in

Lansing, Ohio, Edward’s life was marked by dedication to his family, his community, and his

country.

As a young man, Ed served with honor in the United States Air Force. His patriotic service was a

point of great pride and set the foundation for his lifelong commitments to both leadership and

mentorship. After his military service, he embarked on a distinguished career in banking and

became a well-respected figure during his 17-year tenure as President of the New Martinsville

Bank, as well as an executive at Ormet Credit Union until his retirement. His professional

integrity and approachable leadership style left a long-lasting imprint on the industry and those

who worked alongside him.

Ed met the love of his life, Helen Hundley, at Keesler Air Force Base and they shared a blissful

marriage of 71 years. The legacy of their enduring partnership includes children: Cindy Marn of

Westover, Karen Biggs (Jimmy) of Aberdeen, MD, Michael Marn (Patty) of Red Lion, PA, Mary

Eberhardt (Keith Bayles) of Uniontown, PA, and Beth Monroe (Terry) of Alma, WV. He has seven

grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

A devout Catholic, Ed was an active member of Mater Dolorosa Roman Catholic Church in Paden

City, WV, where he served as a Minister of the Eucharist and shared his faith as a teacher of CCD

and Acolytes for many years. Later, he continued his worship at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic

Church in Star City. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, guiding him through both trials and

celebrations.

Beyond his professional and spiritual contributions, Ed had a vivacious passion for life and

culture. He was an avid golfer and fisherman, a devoted Mountaineer fan, and enjoyed following

Ohio State, Duke, and Notre Dame in various sports. Ed was also a gifted storyteller, with many

enthralled by his knowledge of history, especially military history. His voice was one of harmony,

not only in life but literally as a member of his Barbershop Quartet, the Mason Dixonaires.

His philanthropic spirit was evident in his contribution to youth sports, where he coached softball

for his daughters. He believed in nurturing the potential of the young and was a positive influence

on many young lives.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony Sylvester Marn and Mary Zoladz Marn, as well

as his brother Anthony “Babe” Marn.

Friends may gather at Mater Dolorosa Roman Catholic Church in Paden City, WV on Friday,

December 26, 2025 from 3pm until the 4pm Mass of Celebration with Father Joseph Abraham

as celebrant.
