In 1896 she gave her heart to God and was baptised by Rev. Adam Fisher Sr. and taken into the Mennonite Brethren Church of Okeene, of which she remained a true and active member until her Great Master called her home.

Though she is gone, sweet memories still remain.

What we have lost, heaen alone did gain.

She, who was a mother, so kind, true and dear.
