Raised Mennonite in the Indiana farmland she attended school with the Amish and then graduated from High School in Topeka, IN. In 1950 she met Ernest R. Hiebert and they married on August 23, 1951.

In 1994 she became a widow after 43 years of marriage. 1996 she met and married the 2nd love of her life, Glen Call.
She loved to read and spent a good deal of each day doing just that. Puzzles and games were her forte and she always loved a good game show. In her younger years she was a fine seamstress and loved to crochet. She also loved to play the piano and organ and had a lovely alto voice. She was a hopeless romantic and her prince turned out to be Glen. He treated her like his queen and they had 15 happy years together. She loved the Lord all her life and shared him often with her grandchildren. Jeremiah 29:11 was her special verse and Psalms 23 was also one of her favorite scriptures.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Noah and Jennie, siblings; Franklin, Hazel, Orval, Grace and Lyle, (1st husband) Ernest Hiebert and son Stuart. She is survived by the family that loved her, husband Glen, sister, Beulah and daughter Jill (Tim) Carroll.
