She went to Germany in 1931.

She is survived by three brothers and two sisters, Peter and John Obermire, of Sioux City; Ralph Obermire and Mrs. Ellen Johnson, of LeMars; and Mrs. Waldie McCloud, of Waterloo.

Four sisters and two brothers preceded her in death.

The last rites were held and interment made at Bauerberg, Germany.
