She was baptized on Easter Sunday April 24, 1935 in the Kiron Baptist church where she was a faithful member. She also was a member of the junior Philathea class. Her young life bore a beautiful witness as a Christian. She was a tender and sweet daughter, sister and friend. She was endowed with a sweet and cheerful disposition. At the time of her death she was 19 years and 5 days.

Funeral services were held from the home at 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon and from the Kiron Baptist church at 2 o’clock conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Johnson. Large throngs came to pay their last respects to this beloved young woman. R. O. Lindskoog sang as a solo "An Evening Prayer" and Minnie and Evelyn Johnson sang in Duett "Moment By Moment."
