On March 13, 1873, she was united in marriage to Lewis Lite, near Caledonia, Mich.

She came to Michigan 71 years ago where she has lived ever since; living with her daughter (Ella) for the last 26 years. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church for many years. She had exceptionally good health, having almost a perfect attendance at church services up to the time of her death being present the last Sunday morning and attended a funeral in the afternoon. Death was caused by a blood clot in the heart, after which she lived only about 36 hours. She spoke often of her going home to be with the Lord and the last day prayed often for the Lord to come for her, being conscious to the very end. Grandmother was of that kindly, patient nature which endeared her to all. She will be greatly missed in the home, in the church and in the community. Funeral services were conducted at the home March 21 by Bro Scholten of the Brethren church, and at the Bowne Mennonite church by Bro T E Schrock, assisted by Bro D J Johns of Indiana. Burial in the adjoining cemetery. Gospel Herald Vol XXX, No 8 20 May 1937
