Conklin melded into the Mormon community by teaching large classes in her school and administering aid to those who were sick or in need of comfort alongside the Mormon Relief Society. She retired from teaching and missionary service in 1933 and continued to serve the community until her death in 1949. Presbyterian work ceased in the St. George community for twenty years as a result of her death. |
