After a lingering illness, she passed away at the Ruffin Nursing Home at Springfield, Missouri, on Monday, November 30, 1959. If she had lived until next January 11, 1960, she would have been 75 years old.

She grew up in the Sutherland neighborhood and attended school there.

In 1903, she was united in marriage to Herman Albert at Primghar, Iowa. Seven children were born to this union. They lived on a farm near Primghar until 1929 when they retired and moved to Hartley, Iowa.

In 1952, she went to a nursing home in Eldorado Springs, Missouri, near the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lois Plain. When her daughter moved away in 1957, she was transferred to the Ruffin Nursing Home at Springfield, Missouri, which was near the home of another daughter, Mrs. Rena Clark. Here she lived until her death.

The people who knew her will always remember her as a happy and jolly person with a friendly smile for everyone.
