Her christian experience was real and vital, it brought comfort and rest in her struggle with pain. She was a constant sufferer during the last few years of her life, while she never was very vigorous. Her contest for life was a valiant one, aided by physicians and kind, careful nursing and thoughtful home attention could bestow. Her call from the Master came , she was ready and drifted peacefully from the world into the presence of her Saviour. She was conscious to the last and had made full preparation for her own funeral services. Despite the pouring rain a large company of friends gathered to pay their last respects to one loved by the entire community.
