She was educated in the rural school where later she returned as a teacher, at Lanark Continuation School, and in the Model school at Perth.

Cecil on the home farm; Mac of Montreal; Mary, Mrs. Leo Dunlap of Harrison, Nebraska; Ross of Guelph; and Anna of Napanee. Also surviving are 11 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. During her life in Appleton, she was very active in all phases of church work there, especially in the W.M.S. and the Mission Bands. Although not a trained nurse, she often aided the neighbours in their cases of serious illness. Funeral services were held at the Kerry Funeral Home in Almonte, on Saturday, January 13, at 2:30 p.m. Rev. R. J. McCrea, of Almonte United Church, conducted the services with interment in the Auld Kirk Cemetery. As well as many local residents, relatives and friends were present from Guelph, Cambridge, Toronto, Cobourg, Peterborough, Napanee, Perth, Balderson, Lanark, Cobden, Ottawa and Montreal. Pallbearers were four grandsons: Vernon Turner, Kenneth Turner, Allan Turner, Lawrence Barrett, and two neighbours, Allie Stewart and Bert McRae.
