She was a faithful member of the Mennonite church from her youth and will be remembered in the community for her kind deeds and helpful ways. She participated in sewing circle work for many years, as long as her health permitted, and will be greatly missed in the home and by all who knew her. Funeral services were conducted at the Zion church by the ministers Nicholas Birky and Chester Kauffman. Burial was made in the Zion cemetery.
