She was the happiest when she had her family near her. She had been in poor health for several years with arthritis. On November 20, 1962, she suffered a stroke from which she never fully recovered. For one year and nine months she had been cared for by her husband. A number of years ago she took Jesus into her life and was baptized, and attended church whenever her health premitted her to do so.
