In his book Auf dem Drahtseil it was described by Rainer Barzel as follows:

“This remarkable woman from the Asian south of Russia looked like a strong panther cat… I sat across from her and enjoyed looking at her wildly sparkling eyes and her smooth gestures. I spoke deliberately softly and amiably and probably did not forget a nice compliment. From one second to the next it changed: the voice that had just been harsh became soft and quiet; suddenly she could laugh and joke - a concentrated load of amiability flashed now. Charm on gentle paws. "

She was buried in the Kunzewoer cemetery .
