She died March 27, 2012, at Colonial Springs Healthcare Center, Buffalo. For personal reasons she chose to use the middle name Isabel and to celebrate her birthday on May 14.

She lived the rest of her life in the Springfield and Dallas County areas. She only attended rural elementary school through the seventh grade, and spent her latter teen and early 20s assisting her mother in raising her younger brothers and sisters. She enjoyed writing poems, many of which were published in various local newspapers wherever she lived. She had been a resident of the Colonial Springs Healthcare Center since the spring of 2006. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Samuel; an infant daughter, Lennie; brothers: George, Eldon, Ralph, Henry and Donald; and sisters: Esther and Rita.
