Marlo D. Seibel was born June 3, 1943 in Harvey, ND, to Ben E. and Ella (Faul) Seibel. At a young age, he was baptized and became a member of the MB Church in rural Harvey. He was raised and educated at Harvey, graduating from Harvey High School in 1961. Marlo served in the US Army from 1962 to 1965, and was stationed at Erlangen, Germany. On August 19, 1966, he married Sharon Wiens at Munich, ND. In 1973, he graduated from Dickinson State College. He would go on to teach in Dickinson and Wyndemere, ND, before teaching in Wahpeton from 1979 to 2006.

Marlo enjoyed spending 23 summers with Sharon at Pelican Lake. He also enjoyed singing, golfing, and absolutely adored his granddaughters. Marlo accepted Jesus as his Lord and savior at an early age and it was important to share his faith with others.
