His father, mother, Mima's mother and oldest sister, Metta Heder, were all at Roy's house at the time, because Mima and the children had also come down with the flu. The epidemic was so bad that doctors would not even make house calls, and every family had to take care of themselves and their own dead. Roy died from the flu on October 16, 1918 and was buried by his father, Samuel R. Brough, his brother Thomas and brother-in-law, Clyde Bradshaw, on October 19, 1918 in Lyman. (His body was later moved to Ogden, Utah). A few hours following Roy's burial, Mima gave birth to their last child, a girl: Helen Metta, who just like her father, had large blue eyes and brown curly hair.
Mima lived to be 78 years old and saw many of the fruits of her labors come to pass. She died on July 13, 1965, of a heart attack at Knotts Berry Farm in California, while eating one of their wonderful chicken dinners. She was buried in Ogden, Utah in the Altorest Mortuary between her husband, Roy, and her oldest son, Louis. Since her death another daughter, Helen Metta, has died (on May 30, 1979), as has her second and last son, Robert Marshall (who died on September 8, 1979).
