She studied music at the University of Southern California, receiving her BM[4] in 1947, MM in 1953, and DMA 1975.[5] The title of her dissertation was The Development of Netherlands Psalmody from 1565-1773 through the Study of the Bourgeois Tune for Psalm 42.[6] She married Henry Vree and they had a son, Dale, before Vree's death in 1976.[7] She remarried Harry Wesley Brown Jr. in 1980 and changed her name to Vree-Brown, although her music was published under the name Marion Vree.[8]
Vree taught music and directed choral groups in Los Angeles at Alexander Hamilton High School[9] and at Pierce College.[10] She participated in the 1987 Congress on Women in Music (now the International Alliance for Women in Music), during which she hosted a house concert with composer Deborah Kavasch.[11]
