Marvin Bingham

Mr. Marvin Bingham age 74 of Bimble, Kentucky, departed this life on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at his home. He was born on March 2, 1943 the son of Evy Bingham and Mae (Mills) Bingham and was the widower of Charlene (Kidd) Bingham.

Along with his parents and loving wife, he is also preceded in death by one son, William C. Bingham and his siblings, Brenda Austin and Ellis Bingham, and his sister in law, Linda Bingham.

Marvin became a well-known figure in the community, not only because of his love of being around people, but also by the time he spent operating his restaurants which included the Traveler’s Inn, Amanda’s Restaurant, The Country Village and most recently, The Depot on Main. Even though Marvin loved the public and operating his restaurant businesses, nothing could compare to the thirty-four precious years he spent with the love of his life, Charlene, who preceded him in death seven years ago. Now, Marvin and Charlene are together once again, reunited, where they will rest and wait for their many loved ones. He will be greatly missed. He left a legacy here on earth and taught everyone what hard work and dedication looked like.
