She was the fifth child of Louvinia (Doris) Benoit and Hubert Salvador born October 29, 1949. She married Nesbeit Arthur on January 9, 1977 and together they shared 48 wonderful years. They were parents to Abiola, Zuri, Makesi (deceased) and Khary. They led a wonderful life filled with love, laughter and cultural explorations.

A lady of many talents and accomplishments, Marva was a chorister and painter. She studied at the University of the West Indies majoring in Biology, did a graduate level program in Management Studies, and earned a Masters in Environmental Technology from the International Institute of Hydraulic Engineering in Delft, Holland. Marva helped to develop the Environmental Policy for Trinidad and Tobago, the system of the Certificate of Environmental Clearance for capital projects, and represented the country at several international environmental conferences. She also worked at Davis and Henderson as team lead in the department that managed Student loan debts. She was respected and loved by peers, friends and colleagues alike.
