Shull's mother passed away when she was 18 months old and she was raised by foster parents, Josh and Nellie Parrack.
She was married to John N. Shull in Wakefield on Jan. 23, 1918. They farmed in Kansas and Colorado before coming to Goldendale in 1940 where they operated a dairy with their son Ray. Later, they purchased the John Deere Implement Co. which they operated for several years.
The Shulls also operated ranches in the Springcreek, Centerville, and Goldendale areas. In 1970, they retired and moved to Goldendale because of John's failing health. He passed away in 1973.
