Even though there was a 10 year difference between the two sisters, they were extremely close and each other’s best friend until Maggie’s death. In 1952 a tall lanky guy caught Wilberta’s eyes and she caught his eyes as well. The courtship began and the couple soon were almost inseparable. On July 31, 1954 Wilberta and Roy Hulett were married and the love affair continued for more than 61 years, until Roy’s passing in 2016.

Wilberta wasn’t a soccer Mom, she was a Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Football, Scout, 4-H, Rodeo, Horse Shows, Saddle Club and Farm Mom. She also spent time volunteering at the children’s schools. Wilberta’s family was her pride and joy. While Roy Dee served in Korea and Vietnam, Wilberta kept the home fires burning teaching their children about Faith. Teaching them to pray for their Daddy every night. Showing them the same sun and moon they saw was the same lights to guide their Daddy. After Roy’s retirement from the Army, they returned home to Humansville, Missouri where they would live together until Roy Dee’s death.
