Meta attended South Dale Country School of rural Tarkio through the 8^th grade and graduated from Tarkio High School, Tarkio, Missouri in 1949.  She attended Tarkio College for two years.

Meta was united in marriage to Phillip E. Hull at St. John’s on April 12, 1951 by her father, Rev. Nolte.  She was baptized, confirmed and married by her father, which was very meaningful to her. She always spoke of her love and devotion to St. John’s and how important a role it played in her life.

Meta worked in Tarkio for Cunningham and Hooper Insurance Agency following her graduation. She was a member of the A.G.C. Extension Club, a 4-H leader of the Farmer’s City 4-H Club and a leader of the St. John’s Girl Scout troop.

Meta served in numerous capacities at St. John’s.

Along with Phillip, she served as a Luther League sponsor and they were members of St. John’s Couples Club. For 60 years, Meta’s love and devotion to her LORD and teaching Sunday School impacted generations of children.

Faith, family and friends were the cornerstone of Meta’s life. Her dedication to her family, church, and community leaves an unforgettable legacy.
