She possessed tireless energy and had few idle moments as long as health and strenth permitted. Was active and efficient in church work and in all departments of her club. Her home was a most hospitable one, where her friends knew there was always a hearty welcome awaiting. She was gifted in making friends; to know her was to love her. The influence of the life and character of Mrs. Kritz upon the community and especially upon those in the circle of whose intimate acquaintance she moved, was a benafactionand all who knew her at all intimately are moved with a sense of individual loss and personal grief at her going away. Her life was gentle; she possessed beautiful attributes. Nature might say to all the world, she was a gifted and true woman. Her death brings lasting sorrow to the hearts of her many friends. In all her ministrations of kindness and mercy she was not alone. God had given her a companion who anticipated her every wish and it was his greatest pleasure to gratify her every desire. He gave to her constant attention, care and devotion. He appreciated her brilliant mind and noble traits of character, knowing she was so patient, never forgetting her loved ones. She was not only a devoted mother, but a companion to her son interested in his work and career. As a neighbor she was generous, helpful and sympathetic. She will be long remembered by all who knew her. She leaves a devoted husband FW Kritz, a son, Murray Thomas of Omaha, Nebraska and a granddaughter, Helen Thomas. She was waiting, waiting to hear the summons, Come ye blessed of my Father to your beautiful home not made with hands, prepared for you in heaven.
