She was a member of the Methodist church and an active worker in all church organizations, a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for forty years, and loyal member of the Woman's Relief Corps.

Besides her son Guy, and his wife and daughter, Miss Ruth, Mrs. Stokes is survived by two brothers, and a host of friends who mourn her death.
