Majors Marvin and Vera Youden entered honourable retirement August 1. Following 20-year careers in the news media and hospitality industry, Marvin and Vera responded to a long-standing call to full-time ministry and offered themselves for service in The Salvation Army in 1987. Mar vin, a native of Deer Lake, N.L., and Vera, who was raised in Corner Brook, N.L., left their home corps of Stephenville, N.L., after serving as soldiers and local leaders for approximately 15 years, to begin a five-year regimen of study and service as auxiliary-captains. Commissioned with the rank of captain in Toronto in 1993, they were appointed to Winnipeg as corps officers at St. Vital. This was followed by nine years in the editorial department before they returned to corps work in their home province in 1999. They were the corps officers in Buchans, Glovertown and Bayview before health concerns resulted in their early retirement in 2007. But with improved health and a medical clearance, they returned to full-time service in 2010 and became the corps officers of the Pilley’s Island/Long Island Circuit.
