I addition to these exacting labors, she was active in Methodist church circles, and as a member she was devoted, and was faithful to her Christian beliefs, and trusted her Lord faithfully. She will be greatly missed from among a large circle of friends, acquaintances and relatives. She was greatly devoted to her immediate family and especially to her nieces and nephews. Toward the last, she expressed a wish that she might go to her Heavenly home. She was preceded in death by her father, who died March 31, 1920, and by her mother, who passed away April 18, 1941.

Bellows, Milton Gantenbein, Paul Jr., John H. and Mark Fruechte; five nieces, Mrs. Margaret Collins, Mrs. Beryl Mills, Marvel Irene Fruechte, and Myra and Eva Bellows; four grand-nephews and two grand-nieces.
