Before she married Walter she seems to have been her father's shadow. Even after marriage it seems they lived close. On one of their many gold hunting trips she lost a daughter of 7 months.
Her daughter remembers that when they had their ranch you always knew where she was as her soprano voice could be heard even out in the field. A hard worker whose hands were never still. When she could no longer crochet or piece quilts she would play solitaire, read her bible or"twiddle" her thumbs by the hour. Her daughter in law remembers that she took her to a boxing match one time, in her later years, and she got very animated about the outcome.
She was fond of saying, "To thine own self be true".
