She was preceded in death by her parents, 2 brother in infancy and a daughter-in-law, who passed away in February.

A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still.
A place is vacant in our home that never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled the gift his love has given.
And though the body slumbers here, Her soul is save in heaven.
