The church was filled to capacity by her relatives and many friends and many beautiful floweres decked the casket.

She also leaves eighteen grandchildren and two great grand children. Three sons and one daughter preceded her in death.
Our dear mother from us now is gone.
Her soul no rest in heaven,
She was so sweet and good to us,
She ne'er will be forgotten A.D.
