In her obituary it is stated," She carried out her duties with meticulous care and efficiency despite her remarkable age. Her quaint little ivy-covered home, where she conducted the post office, was a well kept building, which often formed an interesting subject for visiting photographers and painters, and added considerably to the beauty of Annalore." She is buried at Killeevan Protestant Church , of which a snow covered scene appears also on CNB.
