Living with parents 1907.
Cared for children in wealthy homes in St. Paul, lived with her brother, George after 1944.
Died as result of an accident while shopping. She was frail but able to move on her own. Was in a revolving door on her way to purchase sewing fabric at the Emporium. A man entered the section behind her and pushed the door very hard. She was thrown from the door, broke her hip, a fatal injury.

The following was furnished by Ann Method and was written by Marcy Wescott Carter.
"Abbie Dee WESCOTT - July 17, 1858
"After grandma died in 1944 grandpa (George E. Wescott) had his sister, Abbie Dee Wescott, a maiden lady, come live with him. She was eleven years older than he.
"It is 1948 and she is 90 years old. Her hearing was truly gone. We would barge through the kitchen door and she wouldn't hear us until she would look up from her chair in the living room as we entered.
"Abbie Dee was a stately woman. Very erect, and very tall and quite thin. Her hair was swept upon her head. Wore beautiful combs in them. Her clothes were beautiful and they were not new but many decades old. Her neck was long and one couldn't help but notice the ornate lace crusted with seeded pearls around the neck that was attached to a black long sleeved dress.
"She had a rocker and sat in it continually rocking. She would try so hard to visit with us. Grab my elbow and pull up a little sitting chair for Maine to sit in. I always regretted she couldn't hear because our visits only lasted about ten minutes. It was that difficult.
"Abbie Dee never married. Grandpa said as a young girl she was a seamstress in homes on Lexington and Grand Avenues in St. Paul. This was her vocation for life. She never was without a job because when one family had raised their children the word was out in the wealthy families that she was ready to move into a home with young children once again. I have her trunk that was neatly filled with slips that were covered with more lace than fabric and wore them in the 40's!
"Grandpa said her favorite pastime was to shop. Just to go downtown and look at fabrics and clothes, although her attire never changed from the turn of the century.
"Every Thursday morning, when stores opened at noon, Grandpa would walk her across the street to the bus stop which would take her directly into downtown in front of the Emporium Department Store. One morning as she was entering the store as it was opening up a hurried businessman pushed the big revolving door. Giving it a big heave it sent her on through and sliding across the Emporium floor. Abbie Dee broke her hip and lived only a few days.
"After this his letters were quite sad. It was terribly hard on grandpa. She gave him a total purpose for life. She was company for him although she could not hear. He took total care of her as far as maintain the home, cooking the meals and taking the laundry into town. But she could maintain her personal self and for this he was thankful. His letters became more frequent and more pleas of "please come more often." One time he offered Caddy (Catherine Crisham) and myself to live with him. He was sincere. She turned it down and he understood."31
"She never married," Marcella Jane Wescott proceeded to tell me.... "Before the days of electricity, while she was very young, because of her given talents, Abbie Dee boarded with well-to-do Oregon Lumber families like The Weyhausers, and for as long as they needed her skills, she made things of practical beauty for them. For 6 to 18 months she lived with the family, and created what they needed in cloth for family members and home. For these services she received room, board, and a small monetary recompense. This was her life from very young.32
