Following her studies, Missy relocated to Garner, where she managed the Ben Franklin Store for one year before purchasing and operating it for sixteen years. On November 27, 1982, Missy married Mark Huling at First Lutheran Church in Clarion. The couple made their home in Garner, residing in the same house since 1987. Missy dedicated 25 years of volunteer service to the Garner Ambulance Service and was a founding member of the Clear Lake Fire Department, serving as an EMT for 20 years before retiring in July 2025. Missy had a passion for traveling, quilting, gardening, and photography, particularly capturing moments for the GHV wrestling team and motorcross events. She treasured her time with family and expressed profound joy in being able to deliver her granddaughter, Hayzel, at the hospital. She was an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church where she taught Sunday school for two generations of students.
