She came to McComb Mississippi in 1899. Since 1913 she has lived in
Columbia.She was among those who organized the Presbyterian church in

most devoted , faithful and consecrated members.
For many years she taught a Sunday School class of young people all of whom love her memory. She served the Woman's Auxiliary, as president, and in other capacities always bringing to the work of the
Kingdom an eagerness and interest achieved lasting results. She found
real joy in rendering Christian service and her happy devotion to the
highest and best in life ever remains a source of inspiration to her
many friends. The genial charm of her personality her gracious manner
her cheerful disposition her sympathetic interest in others, her genuine friendliness, and sterling qualities of character won for her
a host of life-long friends and to know her was to love her. She had
the precious gift of radiating joy, sweetness and light that will continue to cheer and brighten the lives of those who knew her long
after her time of 'sunset and evening stars'. She leaves behind a host of kindly deeds, and fragrant memories which speak to us in a
voice sweeter than song and assure us that in reality, we cannot lose
those whom we have loved and who have loved us for many waters cannot quench love. Presbyterian Auxiliary Committee
