Two of her brothers, John M. and Andrew, are bishops in the church, Abram a deacon and her sister Lydia the wife of Deacon Henry Powell. She united with the Mennonite Church in early life, and at the age of 20 years she was married to Martin Shank. They reared a family of six children to maturity, one other having died in infancy. She was a faithful, conscientious, Christian woman whose life was a clear and steady light for truth and God. She was of an humble, retiring nature and always felt herself unworthy of God's favor, and at times would express herself as fearing she was unworthy of the heavenly Father's notice; but in her last days she was beautifully supported with dying grace according to the promises of God. She came gracefully down the slope of life and crossed the valley of the shadow of death without a sign of fear, committing herself to Him who died for her. She was conscious up to within a few minutes of her death, and showed great concern for the welfare of those she left behind. She is greatly missed in the home and their loss is deeply felt. No doubt her consistent life and prayers and tears will bring fruit in other lives in days that are to come. Gospel Herald - Volume XIV, Number 28 - October 13, 1921 - p. 559
