In her home she was the fulfillment of a wife and mother, her hands never weary in doing for her loved ones, and always a welcome smile and open door for her relatives and friends. She was an active member of the M.E. Aid Society of Wolf Lake for many years and also a member of Wolf Lake Temple of Pythian sisiters.
