Following graduation from high school, Marvel worked in Wolverton and took care of her parents on their farm located south of Wolverton until they passed away in October 1948. On October 29, 1949, she married Alfred Johnson. Following their marriage, Alfred and Marvel made their home on the family farm. Alfred passed away from cancer in 1972. Marvel stayed on the farm several years following Alfred's death and later moved to Wolverton.

Eighteen months later, in July, 2000, Marvel joined Mildred at St. Francis.
