The burial was in the family plot in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]] among generations of her kindred. Four daughters survive; Mrs. [[Frank Wright]] of Berne, Mrs. Charles Phillips of Oakland California, Mrs. Charles Abeel of Schenectady and Mrs. William Wallace of Albany. She has also seven grandchildren and two half brothers living [[Manford Bassler| Manford]] and [[George Bassler]] of [[Knox]]."<ref name="Bernehistory"/>
