She leaves to mourn her early departure, her husband and eight children, one grandchild, and two brothers, Albert Groothuis of Culbertson and Tom Groothuis of Hildreth. The children all reside at home with the exception of two daughters, Mrs. H.C. Haussler and Mrs. Albert Rathe, both of Culbertson. Four children, three in infancy, and one son, last year at the age of 24 years, preceded her in death.
