The following Bio was provided by Janet Larson Dansie:
Here I wish to pay tribute to my dear little wife Letitia, who has stood by my side through all these years of labor in the Church. No word of complaint ever passed her lips at the long hours and days it was necessary for me to spend doing my duties in the church. She was my guiding light through the storms of life, sickness, discouragement and untold hardships we were called to pass through.
She looked well after the ways of her household. She taught her children to pray and walk uprightly before the Lord. She kept them well clothed, doing much of the sewing herself. An excellent cook, at the touch of her hands the plainest food became a banquet. It was her pleasure to always prepare a good meal on Sunday while I was bishop, for we never knew when there would be visitors and it was always our duty to entertain them during the lunch hour. A loaf of her light bread must always be on hand for the Sacrament table. The eggs from her well cared for flock of chickens took care of most of our grocery bill.
Her indomitable will, faith and courage made stepping stones out of many folks of the town who often came to her with their problems and heart aches and they never failed to receive the counsel and comfort they needed.
Three of her eleven children were taken from her when very young; Zelpha, Zelma, and Clare, which was a great sorrow to her. She held several positions in the ward, second counselor in the Primary for several years, also treasurer for the Relief Society. She was a good Latter-day Saint and surely her children will rise up and call her blessed.
Around 1917 her health began to fail and after a lengthy illness during which she was given all the loving care and appreciation a family could give, the Lord saw fit to release her from her suffering on 9th December 1918. The terrible influenza epidemic was raging at the time and no public gatherings were allowed so only graveside services were held after which her tired little body was laid to rest in the Matthews cemetery among her little children who were buried there. Just fifty four years she had lived on this earth, but each one was filled to capacity.
