She attended the local elementary school and graduated in 1950 from Medford High School. She continued her education at Stevens Point Teacher’s College (now University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point) and graduated in 1954.  She then taught school for several years in Green Bay, WI. A change of careers took her to Aeronautical School in Kansas City.  She was hired by United Airlines and sent to the Cleveland Office. She also worked for Northwest Orient and TWA Airlines in Cleveland, Denver, and Albuquerque. 

On June 1, 1963 she married Frontier Airlines pilot, Kenneth N. Wells. They made their home in Aurora, CO and raised their 2 boys there until 1979.  They then moved east of Brighton, CO at Van Aire Skyport. Marty filled her days caring for her home and family.  She treasured her church family and, above all, loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a perennial volunteer for years on various school district committees, worked for her church and helped at the Animal Shelter as well as the Brighton Senior Center. She cared for the neighbor’s animals while they vacationed.  The Wells’ home had an “open door” policy, and everyone was warmly welcomed with food or coffee, goodies, and a bed, if necessary.
