Marion grew up in Springville, her father had a farm at Hobble Creek. In 1898 she and her older half-brother, William, attended Brigham Young Academy for a year. About 1904 Marion's father moved his two families to Labelle, Idaho. Shortly after Marion and her friend, Nora, got a job at a sugar factory boarding house, waiting tables and washing dishes. Nora's relative came to see her. Marion married Ira Amos Schley on August 7, 1905.

Ira and Marion became parents to three children: Ira Wayne, James Lester, and Beulah Jane. They farmed at LaBelle. Ira also sheared sheep and ran a crane for the sugar company at Lincoln, Shelley, and Sugar City, Idaho. About 1919 they moved to Ririe. During World War II they lived in Ogden, Utah until Ira became sick and they moved back to Ririe.

Marion was a Relief Society teacher and she helped bring 26 babies into the world, sometimes with a doctor and sometimes on her own.
Ira died in 1949 and Marion lived on her own almost to her own death in 1960 from chronic myocarditis.
