She was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran church, also of our Savior's Mission Circles and was a faithful member and true Christian. She attended services, regularly until her illness revented it. She was stricken with a disease two years ago and never fully recovered after two major operations. She never compained during her long illness, always bearing her own burdens and putting her trust and faith in the Lord. She passed away peacefully Sunday evening, February 6, 1955, age 83, in the presence of her immediate family. She was a kind friend to everyone who knew her. Serving others was one of her greatest enjoyments. She will be greatly missed by her husband, her family and by everyone who knew her.
