Followed her husband’s ministries in Maine and Ohio before he died young leaving her a single mother with two children and pregnant with a third (my mother). Then a full career as a nurse in various locations in Vermont, including 16 years as the nurse in residence for a residential school for children in need. Then as soon as the last of her children (my mother) graduated college, she left the country to be a missionary nurse in Turkey for five years in her 60’s. Finally she retired to Massachusetts in 1973. And of course it is there that I visited her many times as a child, through to the last years of her life a few years back.
