Marie Johanne Doxrud was born to Hans Didrik Kjeldal Doxrud and Oliva Johanne Jensen Doxrud. She married symphony orchestra conductor Josef Stransky on June 24, 1912, in London, England.
Marie Doxrud Stransky died on February 2, 1954. The documented provenance of a portrait by Delapierre, 1785, shows that the painting passed from Josef Stransky to his wife upon his death on March 6, 1936. It was later sold at auction on October 16, 1954, after Marie's death.
Marie's obituary appeared in the New York Times on February 2, 1954:
