On December 31, 1958 Marvel was united in marriage to David Wanous at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Silver Lake, Minnesota.  This marriage was blessed with four children, Craig, Debra, Sherrie, and Angela.  She was a wonderful mother and worked hard on the farm.  Marvel also worked outside the home at several places such as Edco Sewing in Winsted, Hutchinson Technology Inc., and the Senior Job Program with the Hutchinson School District #423 and really enjoyed working at West Elementary as a Teacher’s Aide. Marvel retired in 2014.

Marvel had many hobbies, but particularly enjoyed reading, puzzles, crocheting and always a good John Wayne or Clark Gable movie. She also enjoyed going out for breakfast to enjoy biscuits and gravy and caramel rolls. Marvel loved to attend family reunions, the County Fair, State Fair, and playing a rousing game of Bingo. She especially cherished time spent with her family, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends.
