At the age of twelve years, she united with the Methodist Church and in 1907 joined the Lockhart Baptist Church of which she was a faithful member at the time of her death.
Mrs. Abbett was a woman who lived her Christianity in her every day life - her religion was without vain show but was always practical. Her death leaves a place difficult to fill.
