From Wikipedia:
Abagail Freemantle, also known as "Mother Abagail", leads the "good"
survivors of the Captain Trips plague, and is also a prophet of God. She is 108
years old and lives in a farmhouse in Hemingford Home, Nebraska. She is one of
the 0.6% of the population that is immune to the Captain Trips virus, and
initially appears to some of the plague survivors in dreams, drawing them to her
just as Randall Flagg draws the evil survivors to him. She and her followers
make their way to Boulder, Colorado where they establish the "Boulder Free Zone"
government.
She receives visions from God, though when she sins through pride, she loses her foresight and goes into exile in the wilderness. She regains her ability, and returns to the Zone just in time to inadvertently save most of the Free Zone Committee from Harold Lauder's assassination attempt. On her deathbed, she shares one final vision: four men from the committee are to travel to the west to make a stand against Randall Flagg. She makes no prediction as to what will occur, only that one will fall before arriving in Las Vegas, and that the remainder will be brought before Flagg. Mother Abagail dies shortly after revealing this prophecy.
