The young couple moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Hattie earned her high school diploma from Dillard High School.

Robert and Hattie renewed their vows July 15, 1957, at Annunciation Catholic Church with caring Godparents  Roy and Grace Mizell. Later, Annunciation Catholic Church closed, and the family moved their membership to Saint George Catholic Church where she remained a faithful member until 2001.
