Her home continued to be in Santa Ana, after his death, until two years ago when failing health made it necessary for her to be with Mrs. Beck in San Diego.
During her lifetime she was active in church work; a member of the First Presbyterian Church of San Diego and a member of the Santa Ana Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
