The remains were laid to rest at the Upper Skippack Cemetery beside her husband.
"A mother dear, a mother kind,
Has gone and left us all behind;
He watched her suffering, heard her sighs,
With trembling hearts and weeping eyes.
Friends may think we have forgotten,
When at times they see us smile;
But they little know the heartache
That the smile hides all the while."
