She was born July 20, 1928, in Albert Lea, Minnesota, to Carl E. Olsen and Martine (Jensen) Olsen. She was the youngest of 11 children.
On Jan. 13, 1945, Maryetta married Arthur M. Hylle at Calgary Baptist Church in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Arthur served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945. After Arthur’s time of service they made their home in Austin, Minnesota. Maryetta was a homemaker and mother to three children: two daughters and a son.
