She spent practically all her life in the Hill Country and she and her husband were ranch people until overcome by ill health. She has lived in Junction at different times and just before her death asked that she be brought here in order that she might die in Junction. She had been here only a few days when death relieved her of her suffering. Her friends and neighbors testify that she was a patient sufferer during the last months of her life. She is gone but her influence will continue to live in the heart and lives of those with whom she came in contact.
