  Dear colleagues,

   

  It is with deep love that we announce the passing of my mother, Ruth Kloepfer on May 23, 2006. Ruth was a long time, active member of the Orange Grove Monthly Meeting spiritual family and the Ecumenical Institute/ICA. She attended all of the Institute's Summer Research Assemblies, invited the Order into her home when they established a Religious House in New Orleans, and cherished all the work of the Institute, especially the New Religious Mode materials.

   

  Ruth lost her balance and broke her left forearm on May 16. She did well during the surgery and had started rehab at a transitional care facility in Pasadena when she died suddenly during the night. She was 91 at the time of her death but would have been 92 in less than three months. She died the day before her seventieth wedding anniversary.

   

  A Memorial Service is scheduled for June 10, 2006, 1:30 p.m. at Orange Grove Meetinghouse, 520 E Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena, CA. Child care will be available

   

  If you are so moved, please bring finger foods/desserts to share following the service.

   

  In addition, Ruth loved flowers and it has been requested, if possible, that attendees to the service bring flowers from home gardens. When she was married, seventy years ago, her brothers and sisters say that the church was overflowing with home grown flowers and it would be a loving tribute to her life.

   

  To reach Orange Grove Meetinghouse from the 210 Freeway, take the Lake Avenue exit going north towards the mountains. at the stoplight, turn west (left) on Orange Grove Boulevard. The meetinghouse is on the southeast corner of Oakland and Orange Grove.
