She was a member of the Mennonite Church and was a devoted Christian, wife, and mother. One of her favorite Bible texts was Isa. 50:7, especially the clause, "Therefore have I set my face like a flint." Many who knew her best have been impressed with her faith and loyalty and her unwavering purpose of heart to cleave unto the Lord. Funeral services were conducted at the Warick River Mennonite Church in charge of Truman H. Brunk and George R. Brunk Jr. Sermon by the latter from the text, "She hath done what she could."
