Daughter of John and Anna Dudek Hazuka, "Midge" was born in Charleroi on June 20, 1919. She was the last surviving sibling of her large family. She was predeceased by her parents; brothers, Steve, Frank, John, William and Paul; sisters, Mary Hazuka, Helen Drelick, Anna Rock, Steffie Mills and Elizabeth Pivovarnik; two infant siblings; husbands, Valentine Videlka, who died in 1947, and John Walters, who died in 2000; and son-in-law, Leo Behe, who died in 2000.

Midge was a longtime member of Speers United Methodist Church and was active for many years in the United Methodist Women, AARP, Gallivanters, Golden Agers Travel Club and other groups. She contributed several handmade worship items to the Speers Church, including a large framed Lord's Prayer tapestry. She was known around the Valley for her talks on the tradition of the "Chrismon Tree", which she and her husband, John, helped to create for the Speers Church.
