After the joyous birth of Marceda, Hortense decided to dedicate her life to being a fantastic and exceptional mother.Whether that was school or through her active duty service for the United States Air Force, she made it her mission to be the best mother for her child.

In 1998, Hortense met Roderick Sellers and immediately fell in love. They went on to be married for 11 years and had countless adventures together.

In addition to being a dedicated and loving mother, Hortense also loved playing cards, going to Disneyland, and enjoying all her favorite foods. She held an unwavering faith in God throughout her entire life, which she shared with those who surrounded her.
