A Columbia nurse and close friend of Miss Benson sent the following tribute to The State Newspaper.
"Leaves have their time to fall and flowers to wither at the north wind's breath and the stars to set, but thou hast all seasons for thine own, Oh Death."
In the passing of our beloved friend and sister nurse, Miss Annette Olive Benson, we realize that our profession and each of us in the profession have sustained a personal loss that causes us to weep and sigh for that sweet face that we shall no longer see in our midst, and for the gentle voice that we shall hear no more. Miss Benson was everybody's friend and turned no one away without some word of comfort or cheer. She was absolutely unselfish and generous to a fault, and her whole thought was for others. She was a devoted member of Trinity church, and she shall be missed, indeed, from her accustomed place.
Most of us know that Miss Benson came from across the water, having been born and reared in Sweden, but came to America when quite a young girl and lived the greater part of her life here in Columbia, where she made nursing the sick her life's work until too delicate to do active service, and 'twas then that she opened the nurse's home and took charge of the registry for the graduate nurses. She was much beloved and respected by all who knew her personally, and the nurses in the home will miss gentle influence and her motherly protection.
"Yes, we know the angels met her when the boatman rowed her o'er, and they sang a song of welcome when her feet touched Heaven's shore."
