She and her husband Joseph, who had worked for the RASC Barrack Department at Shautakok, were helped by Charles Barham to escape to Hong Kong Island on December 8, 1941, the start of the fighting. Some time in 1944 he sent his wife a postcard from Shamshuipo which ended with the injunction to 'Keep on smiling'. It's not known if she received it before her death.
