She was past worthy matron of Eastern Star and also served as secretary of the Hudson Women's Club. She was taken seriously ill four and a half years ago and throughout her long illness she was always cheerful and never gave up hope. She bore her suffering with great fortitude, always looking forward to the future and never complaining.
Besides her husband, she is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Donald J. Engstrom, of Chicago; one son, John Hoyer; a niece, Miss Virginia P. Lyon, of New York City; a brother, Ira Shoemaker of Gig Harbor, Washington.
