From Charles Cable, "In October 2016, we scattered her ashes around the oak tree our family planted in the memory of my father, William Howard Cable. The tree is south of the center door of Quinter-Miller Auditorium, Camp Alexander Mack (Church of the Brethren), Milford, Indiana. They were married there on June 21, 1942, and over her lifetime, she attended summer camps, district conferences and other meeting at Camp Mack. Camp was a significant part of our childhood. The camp is seven miles west-south-west of the family farm on CR 48, Benton Township, Elkhart County, Indiana."
