In his family history, Raymond Lee Scribner remembers his mother with admiration and pride:

"She was very resourceful and intelligent and the best cook in the whole world "

"Mother was a miracle woman, as were the mothers of that day-always seemed to make so much (to eat) with so little; and washing clothes by hand on an old scrub board until their knuckles were raw, and then hanging clothes out to 'freeze dry' Mother used to boil all the clothes and what a pile it was and then do the mending and sewing because there was no money for new things. People remarked about Mother's clean wash....On August 11, 1942, our Mother passed away; it was a very sad day for all of us, especially our Dad. I had never seen our parents fight or argue in our presence....Mother was only 48 years. However, us kids did not realize how young she was, as we thought she was pretty old. We all loved Mother even though 'her word' was law. She had some sayings that put the fear into us and backed them up often by the 'switch' she kept handy To this day, no one makes bread pudding or dumplings, nor almost anything else like 'Our Mother' "
