Marianne was born December 8, 1928 in Springfield, the daughter of Charles L. Juenger, Sr. and Mary (Ball) Juenger.

After graduating from Catholic Central High School in 1947, she was employed for a few years at the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company in the correspondence department. She married her first and only love, Albert J. Goebel in 1950, then spent the remainder of her life nurturing and caring for her home and family.
