It then became necessary for her to enter a rest home. At the time of her death she was a patient at the home of Mrs. Earl Miller in Lime Springs.

Mrs. Stockdale knew that the responsibility of rearing a family was more than just feeding them and clothing them. It included the giving of spiritual nurture as well.

Her prayers for them was that their love for their dear ones be excelled only by their love for God.
