Jeanne A. (Kozmer) Marszalek was born in South Bend, Indiana and lived most of her early life in Niles, Michigan where she attended elementary and high school. In 1964, she graduated from St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, with a degree in elementary education.

They moved to Fort Holabird, Maryland and Fort Hood, Texas, where he served in U.S. Army Intelligence. When he was sent to Vietnam in 1966, she moved to Buffalo with their then 4 month old child. He began his college teaching career in 1967, and they lived in Erie Pennsylvania from 1968-1973 and in Starkville, Mississippi from 1973 to the present day. They raised three sons and are the grandparents of a grandson and two granddaughters.
