Mrs. Stultz, one of eight children, was born and raised in North Texas. She completed her schooling in Denton, TX. She then moved to Dallas to work for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Her future husband, Gus G. Stultz also worked in the same office, doing fieldwork. The way the story was always told, Mr. Stultz came in from the field one day, saw Mrs.Stultz across the office and promptly announced that he had "seen the woman he was going to marry". After dating and some persuasion, they were married two years later. She was a homemaker most of her life. She and her husband lived primarily in Texas until 1993 when they moved to Albuquerque, NM to be near their daughter, Patricia.
