She was born on September 29, 1937, in Mentone, Indiana, the daughter of Dearl and Olive Tucker and spent her early years growing up in the Mentone area. She was a graduate of Mentone High School. Marita made her mark as a cheerleader, a role that instilled in her the values of support and positivity—qualities she carried throughout her life. Marita and Robert S. Boggs were united in marriage in Mentone on June 17, 1955.

Marita's professional journey included a brief tenure at R.R. Donnelley & Sons, where she contributed her talents in the Human Resources Department. She was also co-owner of the family-owned and operated pool table sales business. Later in life, after moving to an apartment in Warsaw, she dedicated her time to volunteering at Our Father’s House and the Kosciusko County Animal Shelter.
