One son (Curtis) predeceased her. She was a member of the Steinman A.M. Church, and in later years fellowshiped with the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener. She will be remembered by her abiding faith and by her cheerful patience during eighteen years of illness.

Derstine, assisted by Merle Shantz and Peter Nafziger. Theme: "For to me ... to die is gain."
