Baker called her a woman of great courage.

Baker recalled a time with the Brinkman family before the funeral. The family was looking at pictures of her children and grandchildren, the queen in Cummings, her birthplace.
"She was standing in a very fashionable multi-petticoated dress wearing a skirt with a floral smoil on her face," Baker said. "Behind her was an austere Kansas landscape. The photo revealed the down-to-earth dignity and classiness of her."
Mrs. Brinkman died the week after her daughter Susan's graduation from Lawrence High School.
"She did everything she could for family up to the time she died." He made a strong recommendation for rush. His brother had all of weddings to go to, and he would have a lot of recommendations for rush.
