Cecile or "Cecil" as she was called by her brothers and sisters, was the second child of sixteen born to Samuel Ake and his wife, Della Clara McCormick in Pleasant Township, Allen County, Indiana. The older children grew up on a farm in the rural area called Poe. After their mother died, Samuel moved the family several times. Cecil was the only one who married and stayed in Georgia. Her sister Hazel's children remembered the hot summer days when they visited the farm to help with the crops and get a taste of country life.
Cecil and Hulse raised their children, Winton and Evelyn, on the family farm. Hulse's father, lived with the couple until his death at age 94. Hulse and Cecil were regular attendees at the Ake family reunions in Jacksonville, Florida, giving their grandchildren's generation a chance to know the tall, lanky Georgian and the petite Hoosier.
She died while visiting her daughter in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa. Her remains were returned to Georgia.
