Her husband preceded her in death about three and a half years ago, and 1 son died in infancy. At the age of 17 years, she accepted Christ as her personal Savior and took an active interest in the work of the Lord is long as her health permitted.

She keenly enjoyed association with her friends, yet her primary interest was the welfare of her family. She had not known good health for more than 20 years. For the past 10 years she had been suffering more acutely from diabetes and related diseases. About a week ago she was confined to her bed, and the immediate cause of her death was hardening of the arteries following diabetes and Bright's disease.
