On February 18, 1950 she married Henri Tessier in Duluth. They were married in a double wedding ceremony with Henri’s sister Lorraine, and husband Bob DeRoche. Henri and Missy were blessed with eight children, and in 1959 they moved back to Hastings where they lovingly raised their family.
Missy worked at the Sears store in Hastings for many years, and later worked as a health aide at the Cochran House. The family enjoyed time at their cabin near Duluth. She liked to bowl, golf, sing in the church choir, watch the birds at her feeders, and tend to her flowers.
She enjoyed cooking for her family of 10, however, she cooked and baked as if she had a family of 20. There were always sweet treats in the house, pies, caramel rolls, cookies, along with many other goodies. The refrigerator was always full of delicious leftovers. Holidays were especially meaningful to her, and she would prepare and cook for days prior to the event. She loved to have a house full of guests.
The biggest joy for Missy was all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved spending time with them. She enjoyed having conversations with the kids and watching them as they interacted with one another.
