September 27, 2021

She graduated from Dreher High School before marrying the love of her life on June 9, 1950, at Rosewood Baptist Church in Columbia.
After getting married, Hubert and Marcia moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where they started their family. Hubert worked as a lineman for the telephone company.
