Mrs. Johlfs was a most devoted wife and mother and a consistent Christian woman. As long as her health permitted she took an active part in the work of her church, serving the aid society in the capacity of some officer from its organization.
She was a model of patience even in the last painful stages of her illness, struggling uncomplainingly, bowing with quiet resignation to the will of the Heavenly Father.
