She had a keen intelligence and a good grasp of what was going on in the world, yet she never set herself up as an authority. She had a keen memory that went back a long way, but, it never kept her from living in the present. She had a strong sense of right and wrong...and a deep Biblical faith..She was proud of her family but never boastful. She had a loving concern for each member of it and for her friends and neighbours. We will remember her as a beautiful person."
