After her second husband passed away in 1988, Marzell spent many years between her home in Snowflake and her "Ranch" property off of Concho Highway, where many enjoyed visiting her, and especially her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who now treasure many memories of times with her there. Marzell was an active member of the LDS Church, where she served in various callings in Primary and Relief Society. Besides her musical talent, Marzell was well known for her happy spirit and optimism. She loved life and endured her trials well. Until the end of her life, those who would call or visit at her home would marvel how they would always gain an emotional lift after being in contact with Marzell. She devoted her life to serving others, including several years delivering with Meals on Wheels.

Vance, Jr. and Charles M. Vance (Rebecca), daughters Bonnie Prestwich (Garth) and Bettie Sorensen (Gary), stepson Jack K.
