Besides her immediate family, she leaves to mourn her loss, an aged father, five brothers, two sisters and three grandchildren

In her young womanhood she gave her heart to God and united with the Methodist church of this place and was a faithful and consistent member unto death. For many years she was deaconess in the church and until failing health prevented, was ever in her place of duty. She was preceded to the better land by her husband eight years ago.
