Daughter of Myron and Rhoda Sowle, Ray Indiana, Marvle was one of 15 children. The Sowle line can be traced to the Mayflower Society and the DAR. Myron was a blacksmith in Ray. Married to Richard Hale Binkley, his younger brother Elmer frequently stayed with them. James Elmer Binkley was killed in an automobile accident and Richard and Marvle were first on the scene of the accident. Elmer actually died on Marvle's lap. Marvle and "Dick" took a number of children from foster care. One such foster child, Alice, married Jim Binkley, son of Carl Binkley.

Richard and Marvle at one time owned the East End Grocery in Fremont, Indiana. Marvle died of complications of a heart attack at Cameron Memorial Hospital, Angola Indiana, probably caused by shoveling snow. Known as "Aunt Marvle" to everyone, she was the consummate cook and baker. She married Richard Hale Binkley and they adopted two children Christine Scott (aka Peggy Jean) and Faye. She was known for her raucous sense of humor and her ability to dance the night away at the Moose in Angola.
