[Oe List ...] Completed Life of Ruth Kloepfer

[Herman Greene]

I was the prior of the New Orleans house for two years. Ruth was a dedicated
and loyal participant in all that we did. I have many wonderful memories of
her and am sad to hear of her death.

Jean, thank you for sharing the completion of Ruth's journey with us.  As
more and more of our wonderful colleagues complete their life journeys, it's
so important to cherish those who are still with us as one day this
magnificent blip in the history of humankind which gave its being to the
world on behalf of others becomes a faded memory.

Peace be with you and John.

Jim and Alice Baumbach

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.
