Jackson writes of her: “When health would admit, she sustained the office of prayer and class leader, Sabbath-school teacher, and occasionally took the pulpit; being always ready to supply any vacancy in her power. Her labours in prayer meetings were extensive. She was an excellent singer; and a Divine unction attended her exertions.”
In later years her health suffered with heart problems.
