She was the wife of 49 years to the late Richard Charles Gill. Marvel was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1932, daughter of the late Robert Ashcroft Allison and G. Victoria Britton.

She is survived by four children and two grandchildren: son Richard Paul Gill and his wife Patricia and their daughters Allison and Natalie of Essex; daughter Jennifer Marvel Gill, also of Essex; daughter Stephanie Elizabeth Gill-Manville and her husband Timothy of Lisbon; and daughter Meredith Manson Gill Frenette and her husband Robert of Andover, Connecticut.
