Early in life she became a Christian and her faith failed not all through the years.

She was a devoted member of the Women's Missionary society and found great delight in that good work. Her sisters in that organization greatly appreciated her presence and good cheer.
For 12 years she had been afflicted with Rheumatism and although unable to walk and almost a constant sufferer, she was always cheerful and hopeful, and to those that knew her best the memory of her kind and patient disposition will will be an inspiration and her worthy life a benediction.
Her faith in the Master whom she delighted to serve, grew brighter and brighter even unto the perfect day. Her message to those around her in her last days was "When Jesus calls I am ready to go. Do not grieve for all is well" How fitting that in the early light of the Lord's day morning her Lord should come for her. "Beautiful toiler, thy work all done. Beautiful soul into glory gone, Beautiful life with it's Crown now won, God giveth thee rest'"
