She loved the sisters and attended each one personally. She was very zealous in her mission and hard working. Her last community was the Provincial House, Chethipuzha. Due to the ailments of old age she was resting at Santwana in the Provincial House. She was a contented person with a grateful heart and pleasant appearance. For a few days she was admitted in St.Thomas Hospital, Chethipuzha due to some stomach problem and the scan result showed nothing special. Then she started becoming weak and fragile.
