She was a trained nurse and married Harry F. Kline who was employed at the Armstrong Linoleum Plant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She was affectionately known as Polly. A member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Mountville, PA, she was an example of faith, exuberence and optimism for the entire family and lived a life devoted to Jesus Christ. I list her as the person I admire most and would desire to emulate.

Here is a poem she wrote as a young woman:
Little Mountain Home
This little house here on a sunny mountain hill,
Brings such memories that cause my heart to fill,
Happy thoughts of our childhood days so long ago,
Ma sitting by the window with stockings to sew,
As we noisy children ran in and out the door,
How much I loved this place, I never knew before.
It wasn't built very fancy, but simple and strong,
To stand the many years, that were to come along,
Yes, each room in this little house is full of dreams,
That we shared together, not long ago it seems,
Though time has a way of too swiftly passing by,
But this can not erase our blessed family tie.
Right here in this parlor we knelt each night for prayer,
Giving thanks for a home, and of a Father's care,
To be guided by such a fine mother and dad,
Was a privilege lots of children never had,
So my dear old house, I look at you with great pride,
For in you was a real home, by the mountain side.
