Marvin and Fannie traveled to many Spanish speaking countries spreading the word of God to others. They have served as missionaries to Old Mexico and the Panama Canal Zone. Their children, Jonathan and Kim, were born and raised on the mission field while they served in the Panama Canal zone.

Fannie valued education. She earned both a bachelor's and master's degree and taught PK through sixth grade in the states of Missouri, Oklahoma and Kentucky when the family returned from the mission field.
