Mynette was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to the late Sarah and Crawford Warren.  She was the oldest of four children, the late  Arlene "Noochie" (Lambert "Junior") Jacobs, Joseph (Shirley) Warren, and the late William "Cap" Warren.

As a young woman, Mynette joined the U.S. Navy, where she met her husband, the late William Marrs.  They were both medical students serving at the U.S Naval Hospital in Bainbridge, Maryland.  After they were married, they were transferred to the Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia before heading to Great Lakes Naval Station.

Mynette's love of flowers encouraged her to become a Master Gardener at the University of Illinois Extension.  She took great pride in her many gardens at her home in Belvidere.  In addition, before moving to Belvidere, she studied for a time at Second City in Chicago.
