Catherine Marie Gant was born June 6, 1963 to Edith and Dudley Harvell. Her life would be dedicated to caring for others. She grew up caring for her parents who were both blind.
She would have 3 children that would be the loves of her life, and her biggest headaches! If you asked Cathy what she was most proud of, she would say it was her one and only grandson, Nathan! Cathy lived for her kids and her family, and family doesn’t just mean blood related. If she befriended you, you became her family.
She was a beautiful soul that was full of energy and she lived her life to the fullest! She was a hard headed, powerful force that lived by her own rules, and if you were around, so did you!! There was never a dull moment with her! She loved the outdoors. If she wasn’t floating down the river, sneaking into a pool at the beach hotels, having a drink on the beach laying in the sun, she was in her yard working. She loved taking trips to New Orleans. Being a natural caretaker, she would take in anybody that needed a place stay, or who was going through a rough time. She was social butterfly, and if you’ve been to any bar in Pensacola, I am sure you have seen her there, and everybody knows her name!  She loved to talk, and believe me, she ALWAYS had a story to tell! Cathy was the epitome of a fighter, all the way until the end. We will surely miss her laugh, her smile, and all her craziness that was Cathy, Mom, Ms. Cat, Mom of Mayfair! We love you (heart)
 
Cathy joins in heaven, her mother and father
Cathy waits in heaven for her 3 kids, David Gant Jr, Christine Gant (Josh Earl), Clinton Gant
her grandson, Nathan Gant, and all her sisters Michelle, Dyann, CeCe, Lori, Theresa, Donna, and Brenda
 
We will be hosting a celebration of her life at Am Vets Post #292 @ 955 Dog Track Rd Pensacola, Florida 32506 on Saturday January 22, 2022 from 4-8pm.

In Lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Go Fund me page set up to cover the cost of her cremation and service. 

​Marvin was born to Namman and Bennie Lou Wallin on July 22nd 1951. He spent a lot of his childhood traveling the country as his family followed his father’s Navy career. No matter where his travels took him, he always kept his roots in North West Florida (with his mother’s family) and the mountains outside Asheville, NC (with his father’s family).
 
He graduated from Milton High School in 1969. As a young adult he enjoyed football, roller skating, being outdoors and was even a local radio DJ known as “Wally Gator.” He graduated from UWF with a bachelor’s degree in business and a bachelor’s degree in biology.
 
Marvin met the love of his life, Donna, on a blind date. He picked her up from her parents’ home in Pace, FL, and fell forever. They dated for two years before getting married. They traveled, and lived in North Carolina before eventually settling down again in Pace, Florida. After a 10-year honeymoon they had one child: Nellie, but he loved his son-in-law, Joshua, as his own.
 
His passion was spending time in his woodshop building clocks and keepsakes for his family, and cabinets or furniture for his wife and home. He retired from Solutia (Cantonment, FL) at the age of 55. Marvin and Donna enjoyed retirement, camping and fishing every chance they had. He was able to watch the light of his life, his granddaughter Vivian, grow from the baby he adored into a beautiful seven-year-old. He was her “hoohoo” and they did their special handshake every time they saw each other.
 
Despite being confined to home and the pain of his battle with medical issues in the last few years, Marvin always had a smile and laugh to share with anyone who visited. He passed away peacefully on December 29th, 2021 at the age of 70, in his home in Pensacola, Florida surrounded by his family.
 
His family's memories of the good meals he made, the jokes he kept everyone laughing with, and his never-ending love from the most tender, gentle heart will brighten their paths forward.
 
Marvin was Preceded in death by his mother, Bennie Lou Wallin; his father, Namman Wallin; and his sister Louella Russel.
 
He is survived by his wife, Donna Wallin; Children Nellie and Joshua Cox; granddaughter Vivian Mitchell; brother, Arthur (Betty) Wallin; brother-in-law Ross Russell; and many nieces and nephews.
 
Family-Funeral & Cremation is in charge of arrangements, there will be no service.
 
The family would like to thank everyone for the prayers, company and words of encouragement in their time of grief.

​Darlene Marie Niemiec was granted her angel wings on December 25, 2021.  Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Darlene had touched and loved throughout her very memorable life.
 
Darlene was born on July 28, 1947 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey to Mary Puerschner Soboleski and John Puerschner.
 
Darlene was in the Class of ‘65 at Perth Amboy High. She began her career working at Johnson & Johnson while her husband was studying at Princeton. She then studied Business Information Systems at Drake Business School, which led her to hold several jobs that allowed her to fulfill her desire to look after others, such as her role as a Disability Hearing Court Reporter and a substitute teacher. She was born and raised in New Jersey, but moved to Texas in the 80’s where she lovingly raised her 3 children. When she was 55 she moved to her lifetime island dream getaway: Navarre, Florida. She loved summertime, especially in her natural habitat of the beach. She had drawers of seashells and never minded the smell of the salt air or the feeling of sand beneath her toes.
 
Darlene had many hobbies including her love of tennis, reading, antique shopping, singing (especially the Beatles), and traveling. From Alaska to Greece to Budapest, many beautiful corners of the world were touched by her beautiful soul.
Throughout the years, she had many beloved kitty cats, most recently “Boo”, “Pixie”, and “Harley”. Though her cats were black and white, Darlene’s life was full of color. From her "Blue Haven" beach house, hot pink lipstick, and colorful manicures of red and pink, she always had a brightness about her, and just being around her made your life more colorful too.
 
Darlene will be remembered for her beautiful blue eyes and contagious smile. When “Hurricane Darlene” came around, you knew you were going to be entertained, loved, and feel her generosity, as she was one of the most giving people a person could know. She gave gifts, advice, and love that everyone who knew her could carry with them forever.
The Christmas season was one of her favorite times of the year. She loved to bake gingerbread men, pies, watch “It’s a Wonderful Life”, and give every person she knew a thoughtful gift. Every year she made her traditional Christmas Eve dinner with our family, filled with exciting superstitions and blessing each of us with honey on our foreheads. Darlene embodied the giving spirit of Christmas all throughout her life, and now she is sleeping “in heavenly peace”, finally able to embrace her son David in the Lord’s Kingdom.
 
Darlene was preceded in death by her parents Mary Soboleski & John Puerschner; big brother, Jack Puerschner; former spouse, Donald W. Niemiec and her cherished son, David Charles Niemiec.
 
Darlene is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Niemiec Mock and son in law, Scott Mock and her two beloved grandchildren, Avery Elizabeth Mock and Taylor Scott Mock who called her “Grammy”; her son, Darin Michael Niemiec; her brother, Lawrence Puerschner and sister in law, Maria Puerschner; niece & Goddaughter, Leslie Koch and husband, Eddie Koch; great niece, Savanna Koch; great nephew, Brandon Koch; nephew & Godson, Carl Puerschner and wife, Chrissa Puerschner; great nephews, Carl & Gabe Puerschner and great niece, Emily Puerschner; and her sweet kitty, Harley.
 
We will be doing a celebration of life for Darlene in New Jersey at a future date. Please contact the family if you wish to be contacted regarding those plans.
 
Darlene’s signature with every email she wrote ended with: “There’s A Place In Heaven for the Mother of Two Boys.... I'm counting on it!.. "Love Your Life" by D.C.N.
Now it’s your time to fly high in that magic kingdom you have always dreamed about Dar. We will love and miss you FOREVER, but we know you will be watching and protecting us as you always have…..from YOUR special place in Heaven!
