Betty Mae Hicks Buckley was born in Port Tampa on September 20, 1925. Betty grew up here through the depression and graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1943. After traveling to Dallas, Texas where Betty worked briefly for Mack Truck, she returned to Tampa and met Robert C. Buckley at MacDill Air Force Base. In 1947 they married and embarked on a career with the Air Force and seventy years together. They enjoyed the life and times of the early space age, living in Michigan, Tennessee, California, Alabama, Florida and Texas. Mrs. Buckley always enjoyed moving to a new home and starting fresh each time they relocated. She was the social coordinator of the family and kept up correspondence with their many good friends and family throughout the country. She always knew everyone's important life events and never missed a birthday or anniversary. Betty always thought more about others than herself and dogs always held a special place in her heart
