Her obituary reads as follows:

Mrs. ELIZABETH K. STUBBS, wife of J.W. Stubbs, Esq., died in Marlbourough, county, S.C., on the 13th of Sep, 1873, in the 65th year of age.
She professed religion and joined the Methodist Church at Boykins, in October, 1830, and remained a consistent member up to the time of her death. Her illness which began when she was making preparation to attend the campmeeting at Pine Grove, lasted about a week. Her life was an eminently Christian one, as evinced in all the fruits of Christianity. At all times, and more conspicuously during her last illness, she put her entire trust in her heavenly Father. And when the summons came, she expressed her readiness, and willingness to go, and be at rest. She conversed frequently on the subject of her death, and from the moment that she was taken sick, she seemed to be impressed with the fact, that her dissolution was at hand. She expressed no desire to get well again, but her whole conversation was in reference to a "better country." She continually exhorted her children to be prepared to meet her in heaven. She was the mother of a numerous family, the larger number of whom being destitute of the saving power of Christ, this one thing troubled her much, and gave her much anxiety. May the many prayers which she has offered in their behalf, be answered, even now after she has ascended into glory. She leaves a devoted husband and ten children, (all grown and married,) besides numerous friends to mourn her loss.
