On May 27, 1950 she married the love of her life, Herman Dallmeyer at Frieden''s Evangelical and Reformed Church. The family later joined Bethlehem Lutheran Church of William Penn. Hattie was a very active lady, a devoted mother and wife, lovingly caring for her family. She loved working with animals on her farm, having been an excellent horsewoman in her younger years. It was well known that she could rope and ride with the best of her brothers. Growing things was a passion: flowers, vegetables, or fruit trees, all received tender attention from Hattie. She was often seen by friends and neighbors gathering and harvesting pecans from the trees near her home. Fishing was a favorite pastime, and she taught her children and grandchildren the "right" way to fish, as she would say. Her faith in the Lord was strong, and she made sure her family was guided by the same devotion to her Lord.
