Her maternal Great Grandfather and Grandfather were Ordained Ministers and when Marie was 2 years old, her father was called to preach. Rev.

Marie graduated from High School in 1951 in Washington, OK. That Fall, she enrolled at Southwestern Bible College, in Okla. City, where she met Dannie Beller from Byars, OK. They became friends and began dating in Feb., 1953. They were married Sept. 21, 1953 and lived in Okla. City where Marie worked as a long distance operator for Southwestern Bell and Dan finished his studies at Southwestern Bible College for the Bachelor of Theology Degree. When Dan graduated in 1954, Marie quit her job and began traveling with her husband in full time Evangelistic Ministry, playing the piano and accordion and singing with him.

The next 13 years were filled with a variety of ministry and educational studies. In 1956, they became Pastors in South Coffeyville, OK and continued for almost 3 years. Their daughter, Dana, was born in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1957. In 1959, the Bellers were elected as Directors of the Christian Education Department of the East Okla.

She was quite accomplished at the piano and was a church pianist at Evangelistic Temple for many years. She sang in Trios in High School, at Southwestern College and was an integral part of the "Temple Trio," who sang on the Evangelistic Temple television program in the 70's and 80's.
