Marian was born February 22, 1934, north of Gothenburg to Reuben and Gladys (Nelson) Sall.  As a young girl, she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior.  She attended District 90 country school near Gothenburg through 7th grade and graduated from Gothenburg High School in 1951.  After graduation, she worked at Public Power in Gothenburg until 1958.
