Her life was spent in the Browning and Purdin vicinity, and for several years she and Mr. Pearson have lived in Purdin. She was a great lover of music, singing and poetry which she wrote many for her loved ones, such as this:
When all this toil and strife is over,
And we meet beyond the golden shore
With out stretched hand so pure and fair
We’ll meet our Saviour Jesus there.
And one by one as we join that band,
And face to face with God we’ll stand,
And gather around the golden throne,
To weep no more with hearts that are torn.
She leave to mourn her passing her devoted husband, three daughters, Mrs. Earl O. Hess, Granger, Mo.; Mrs. Lilburn Gilmer, Browning, Mo.; and Mrs. T.H. Thorne, Linneus, Mo.; four grandchildren, Donnie Ray and Bobby Hess, William Thomas Thorne and Linda Gilmer; and two great grandsons, Michael Ray and Danny Arthur Hess, and many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
