Mrs. Bocook was a lifelong member of the Christian church, having joined that church in girlhood. Her life has been one of usefulness and helpfulness and both her children and her friends will testify to many acts of kindness and love and self sacrifice which have been characteristic of her christian life. The grief of those left behind is some what recompensed by the knowledge of a pure life worthily lived.
