She was united in marriage with William Yoder on Oct. 20, 1926, starting their happy home life in Goodfield where they have since resided. Early in life she accepted Christ as her Savior and united with the Mennonite Church which faith she continued until death. She was a devoted wife and true friend to all who knew her, always of a happy disposition scattering smiles and sunshine wherever she went. It was truly a privilege to be counted her friend and be associated with her, because she devoted her life for the betterment and happiness of those with whom she came in contact.
"Some bright day again, we'll meet her,
In that glory world so fair.
Where all sorrow will be ended.
No more sadness, no more care,
Rest in peace."
