Marvel is a native daughter of the Hubbard Prairie, born and raised just east of the Village of Hubbard on a farm that was homesteaded by her great grandparents. She attended grade school in Nevis and High school and college in California.

With a degree in engineering she worked for the aerospace industry as a program manager on the Trident Missile Guidance Systems and the high-resolution cameras that photograph missile targets. This engineering teamwork experience gave Marvel a great "head-start" when she became a member of Coldwell Banker Clack & Dennis Real Estate Park Rapids in 1993.

Marvel and her husband, Stuart, moved back to Minnesota in 1985 and settled close to the farm she grew up on by the south shore of 3rd Crow Wing Lake. After Stuarts death, Marvel moved to her new home off the Fish Hook Bay area of Fish Hook Lake.

Marvel is a member of the United Methodist Church in the town of Hubbard, where she also sings in the choir. In addition she lends her vocal talents to the Classic Chorale in Park Rapids.

By 1995 she was in the President's Circle and has earned a Coldwell Banker Award each year since. She is a graduate of The Realtor's Institute and a Certified Residential Specialist, as well as an Accredited Buyer's Representative.
