Dr. Elizabeth Ruppert

I don't know if anyone will see this but I have to say this somewhere. Dr. Rupert was our family's pediatrician up until her retirement. I don't think any other doctor could have supported us as parents with a mentally limited child. I am so sorry to learn of her death.

Libby was a colleague at MCO and the physician for both of our children. I knew I could always trust her advice, which was without exception based on knowledge, experience and wisdom, in both roles. I, my wife and our children are lucky and grateful for having known her. What a remarkable woman, physician and educator!

My deepest sympathies to Elizabeth Ruppert's family and close friends. Libby was a fine colleague and fellow Faculty member in the MCO Department of Pediatrics in its heydays, to which she contributed significantly. She was a caring and hard working clinician and excellent teacher, and I admired her integrity and positive thinking , and her contributions to the community and the welfare of the most vulnerable of children.

Beyond Dr. Ruppert's important work as a pediatrician, her leadership in the community inspired so many, including myself. I am grateful and a better person to have known her.

Dr Ruppert was an exemplar of community service. She was also an illuminating and generous mentor.

I was a patient of hers when I was 6 , I'm 60 now.

I offer profound sympathy to Dr. Rupert´s family for the loss of this extraordinary woman. I am not a prestigious colleague, I am the mother of three daughters whom she looked after and guided through childhood. Perhaps no one appreciated this great woman´s compassion and expertise as much as a mother with sick children. She was always chipper, thoughtful, direct, supportive and genuinely cared about my girls. My daughters loved and trusted her, too, and are also grieving her loss. I...

Dr. Ruppert was the pediatrician for my 3 children. She saw me through many questions and ups and downs of parenting. I also worked at MCO as a nurse in Pediatrics so I saw first hand the "medical professional side". She was truly a remarkable woman and touched so many lives with her humor, love and intelligence.

The heavens gained an angel! We were blessed to have Dr. Ruppert for a peditrician for Mindi, my daughter with Down Syndrome. She has so many, many health issues. Dr. Ruppert was the most gentle, helpful, knowledgeable peditrician ever. She helped me through such hard times, through my tears, helped me understand raising a child with special needs, guided me in all the right directions. She was my rock. God bless her family through this loss.
