She farmed alongside her husband and children for many years on their Cadiz Township farm. She lived in New Glarus for the past seven years. She will be remembered by her family as a strong, resilient woman who was always willing to work hard; which included farm work, gardening and most especially taking care of her family, including taking care of her late husband in his final years.
