She took an active part in gathering the history of the Brubaker family. When she and her husband retired from farming, they spent some of their time in traveling, visiting relatives and friends. They took a trip to the West Coast and to Canada, and spent 13 consecutive winters enjoying the climate of Florida. Funeral services were held Oct. 26 at the home where she passed away, with further services at the Indiantown Mennonite Church, conducted by Bros. Amos Horst and Mahlon Zimmerman. Text. Phil. 1:23; Ps. 90. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
