She worked in Lincoln Center, teaching a young girls class and the Bible class over a period covering nearly a quarter of a century. Wherever she has lived her first thought has always been to affiliated herself and her family with some church. Hers was a rare and beautiful character. Her noble character has drawn many friends to her everywhere she has gone. Anyone who has been associated with her has been left richer by the education. Her life was one long service to her God and her loved ones. No matter what trials came to her, and they were many, she was always happy and cheerful. She was a wonderful mother, always pointing out the way of righteousness to her children. She thought always of others more than herself. One of her greatest joys in her last years, besides her church work, was working among her flowers and she was looking forward this spring to the time when she could be among her flowers. One of the ways in which she communed with her God was through one of the beauties of nature, her flowers. Her passing leaves sweet memories with her children and all who knew her.
