She immigrated to Canada in 1852, later came to Illinois where she lived at time of her death. In 1855 she united in marriage to Christian Schlabach. To this union were born eleven children. Seven preceded her in death. Four are still living, besides 29 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. She united with the Amish Mennonite Church in her youth and remained faithful unto death. She leaves her husband (whose loss will be very great, as she was a loving companion, giving her life to the care of her husband and children). Her last desire was that he will be well cared for when she is gone. Funeral services at the house by Peter Garber and at Roanoke Church by Andrew Schrock and Clayton Derstine
