residence of her sister, Mrs. J. McCauley on Sunday morning, 17 Feb
1918.
Although her recovery was
not looked for, the finale to her long and brave fight came suddenly
and most unexpectedly.

was cheerful and hopeful, and bore her illness with a remarkable
degree of patience and Christian fortitude. Her death came as a
shock to her many friends.

her life in the vicinity of her birth.

The remains were borne to
their last resting place in the LaSalette Cemetery by her nephews,
on 19 Feb 1918.
