She and Kay served as senior missionaries in the Wisconsin Milwaukee Mission. She touched the lives of all to whom she taught, served, and ministered.

Four children—Susan, Lane, Jan, and Teri—were born to this loving couple. Nyla was an amazing mother. She loved her children dearly. She was an ardent supporter and fan of anything and everything they did. Nyla made sure her children had opportunities to have piano, dance, and ski lessons as well as participate in other sports and interests. She taught them gospel principles and instilled in them a love for the Savior and a desire to be good.

Nyla delighted in cuddling her newborn grandchildren and great-grandchildren and watching them grow and develop. She took an interest in each one. Her 8 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren think she is awesome.

Marvin Park

Marvin Howard Park passed away on 14 December 2025 in Afton Wyoming at the Star Valley Care Center. Marvin was born on 15 May 1941 to Glen Joseph Park and Fay Margaret Weeks. He was the oldest of four children born in Glen and Fay. Marvin was raised on Palisades Creek in Irwin, Idaho. Where he learned how to become the man, friend, father, and husband he was.

When Marvin was young, he learned the value of hard work, and he expected the same from his kids. He worked hard until he could not do it anymore.

As a young boy around 9-10 years of age, he would deliver paper to the workers on the Dam project. He would catch his horse Babe and load her up and ride over and deliver papers. He would also ride his bike when possible.

Marvin went to elementary school in Irwin Idaho and graduated from Idaho Falls high school in ??????  After high school Marvin started working for the forest service helping to clean trails.

Marvin was set up on a blind date and met the love of his life, Rayola Ruth Corsi. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple on 16 June 1961. Together they started a life that was filled with fun, laughter, struggles, and trials, but they continued to love each other and their children. In their early marriage they lived in Etna and then moved to Rainey creek in Swan Valley to work for the Weeks’s and then moved to Palisades creek where they eventually built their home, and raised the five oldest kids. Lisa, Lorie, Scott, Joe, and Misti. Their last son, Kyle, joined them while living in Etna.

Marvin and Rayola spend the winter months snowmobiling with the snowmobile club. They put on many miles and went to fantastic places. Marvin and Rayola were avid bowlers and were on several different teams. They started bowling in Driggs Idaho and continued it in Star Valley after moving there.

Marvin held various jobs throughout his life. He spent many hours helping his parents with their outfitting business. He was a horse shoer, guide, packer, and a camp jack. He worked as a pipe fitter for 12 years until the business was sold. Driving to Idaho Falls 5 days a week no matter what the weather was like. After the company sold, Marvin began looking for a new job and ended up going to help his father-in-law with milking cows and farming. He also worked for Burgraff for a few years until he finally settled down to just farming.

Marvin and Rayola sold their home and moved to Etna instead of driving to work every day. During the time working for his father-in-law, in the winter months he took on a side job of helping feed the elk in Alpine Wy. When the contract was offered to continue to feed the elk, Marvin and Rayola decided that they would try it and spend 9 years feeding elk until Rayola’s health forced them to give it up. Marvin continued to farm on their own property, which he did until they decided to sell it in 2020. Marvin was immensely proud of the land he and Rayola owned, and it was a hard decision when they decided to sell it all but about 5 acres that their house was on. He loved his farm, and it was hard for him not to be working it.

In 2018, Marvin had a mini stroke that affected his speech, and he would get very frustrated when he could not say what he wanted to. Most of the time he was able to get enough words out so that we could figure out what he was trying to say.

After Rayola’s sudden death in February of 2022, he was lost. He had loved her for 60 years, and she was just gone instantly. He had a tough time dealing with her loss. He became more homebound and did not want to go anywhere or do anything. His kids encouraged him to get out and took him places to visit and out to lunch as often as they could. Marvin entered the care center in February 2025 and found it was a good place to be. He had regular meals, things to do and people to talk with.

Marvin was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His favorite job was the secretary for the High Priest Quorum. Rayola also got him involved in doing extraction (indexing) work for genealogy.

On 14 December, Dad finally got his wish to be with his enteral companion and the one person he loved the longest.

Marvin is preceded in death by his wife Rayola, and his parents Glen and Fay Park, and a sister Glenda Kimbro.

He is survived by his children, daughter, Lisa (Chet) Sanderson, Etna Wyoming, daughter, Lorie (David) Haderlie, Idaho Falls Idaho, son Scott (Jackie) Park, Bedford Wyoming, Joe Park, Etna Wyoming, Misti (Ron) Hornof, Muskegon, Michigan, Kyle (Kayla) Park, Odgen Utah. 18 grandkids, and 23 great grandkids. His sibling’s, sister Terrie Stromberg, Irwin Idaho and brother Tom Park, Pocatello Idaho.
