She was sent to the school for the blind, and made many little keepsakes for her friends. She enjoyed going to church and Sunday school. Although she could not see, she never murmured but wished to live for Jesus. She was sensitive of the change in attire on the part of her sisters who united with the Mennonite Church during the time she was blind and her request was that she too might wear the plain attire. At different times she laid her hands on her head, glad that she could wear the devotional covering. She was baptized several months before she died.
Her health had been failing for some time, but one evening she was very bright and cheerful. As she retired she said to her mother, "Perhaps if I fall asleep I will never wake up again." That night she fell asleep in Jesus to wake up in heaven, where there is none blind. She was buried at the Strasburg Mennonite Church, Lancaster Co., Pa., where services were conducted by Elias Groff.

There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part no never,
On the resurrection morn."
