Bugget married her high school sweetheart, Dallas Hutson on November 5, 1950 in Alvord, Texas and lived in Bowie where daughter, Tinka was born in 1952. Dallas' job with Service Pipeline caused them to leave Bowie and after about a year in Ranger, Texas, where son Greg was born, they returned to make their forever home in Bowie, Texas.

Both of her Lines 1 and 2 received "Line of the Year" awards. When she retired in 1974 from Haggar, she was known as a tough but caring boss.

Bugget, finding her true calling, went on to own and operate her own, very successful, business from 1976 to 1996, when she sold Margaret Hutson Realty. She continued to sale real estate until 2018.
