Marval was raised in Lincoln, where she graduated from high school. She was united in marriage to Joyce Wright Hornady on April 21, 1934. They moved to Grand Island in 1942. She and her husband founded Hornady Manufacturing in 1949.

Marval raised three children and was content as an active volunteer for many organizations, as well as doing bookwork at home for their small but growing bullet manufacturing company. In 1972, she was persuaded by her husband to come back to work and assume a more formal role at the company, which by then was also manufacturing ammunition and reloading tools.

When Joyce was killed in a plane crash on Jan. 15, 1981, Marval took over as chairman of the board and secretary of the corporation. Along with her son, Steve, and daughter, Margaret, Hornady Manufacturing did not falter and has become the success story it is due to family values, American work ethic, and ingenuity. Read more
