As she wrote in her Bible, her life's desire was "to be a coworker with my husband and a good pastors wife always with constructive criticism, Godly life-faithful in ministering in things of the Lord, sharing my husband's hours of happiness, his hours of sorrow with friendly fellowship. To know him as he is and yet love him, as a gratitude to God, for giving him to me, and to help him know his labor is not in vain in the Lord. I Corinthians 15:58."
