  • Re-verified against the page’s own cited records: both TAH encyclopedia works (#115, #230) exist in the vault and are linked above; the Irvine church links (Evergreen Senior University, |ITPC) cover her documented community footprint. No further absorbable vault facts without new sources; no new links added this pass.
