In her youth she became a servant of the Lord and united with the Amish Mennonite Church. Her life was one of unselfish devotion to her Master. She was a loving mother and a wise counselor. In 1947 she suffered from a paralytic condition which affected her speech. Funeral services were held Nov. 23 at the home by Elmer Schwartzentruber and at the Steiman Church by Peter Nafziger, Jesse J. Short, and Moses O. Jantzi.
