The next few years were spent in the old Anson C. Call home. For some time she lived with different ones of her family and was with her daughter Ariadne in West Jordan, Utah when she died January 26, (death certificate says January 27) 1922, at the age of 83. She was buried in the family cemetery on the old farm where she lived when she was first married and her children were born and some of them raised.
