Very impressive services were held at the home, and attended by a large circle of friends to pay their last respect to one loved by all who knew her. The floral offerings were beautiful showing the respect she was held in
The remains were laid to rest in Fairview cemetery, in the hope of glorious resurrection and a blessed reunion.

“Not now, but in the coming years
It may be in the better land,
We’ll read the meaning of our tears
And there, sometime, we’ll understand.

We’ll know why clouds instead of sun
Were over many a cherished plan,
Why song has ceased when scarce begun
“Tis there, sometime, we’ll understand.

God knows the way, He holds the key
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime, with tearless eyes we’ll see
Yes, there, up there, we’ll understand
