Glenda Rauscher

She was an absolutely incredible teacher. I visit this page and think about her and the wisdom she imparted to her students and always being such a supportive and genuinely caring teacher. She stands out in my memories of Xavier as a bright spot and there was nothing quite like hearing her passionate lectures! My condolences to her family, she was an amazing and inspiring woman.

Every time I chose a good book, to support the younger women in my life, or a walk in nature: I celebrate your mom and remember Dorothy´s ruby slippers "There is no place like home" mantra and feel her presence cheering me on. Hugs.

As I transition to retirement, Glenda continues to inspire me through the thin places of time and space. Her friendship means even more with each passing year.

Glenda continues to inspire me to be present to others, and to always, always be a strong woman of purpose. Only a memory, thought away. Blessings, Gail Hartman

Many times a week, i view the ruby red slippers badge on my carpet dash board, and smile remembering Glenda's smile and words of wisdom. This week with a new grandbaby on the way....I am remembering her joyful anticipation of the birth of her first grandchild. Many blessings. She is remembered always.

Dear Family,

Larry and I were so sorry to hear of Glenda's passing. I remember many visits between our families as we grew up. Many good memories there. Out most sincere condolences to siblings and family. She was taken too soon.

My sincere condolences to Glenda's family, for all those moments when you will have her with you spiritually but not physically: May her wit, words of wisdom, and love sustain you and remind you she remains with each of you deep within your heart.

Too soon, too soon for all of us who have been blessed to call her friend. Our shared belief that feminism was not to be feared, but embraced endeared her to me as friend, and wise mentor.

May all be well with her soul and ours due to...

Glenda was a true friend, an inspirational teacher, an indefatigable advocate, a devoted mother, a kindly mentor, a faithful sister, a hope-filled Christian , a gifted singer, and an avid conversationalist. Never did I leave her presence without having gained from her wisdom and kindness. I will sorely miss my dear friend taken from us too soon. She will live on in the sweet fragrance she leaves behind and in the memories she created, and, of course, in the countless lives touched by her...

Ms. Rauscher was one of the best teachers I had at XCP. She was no doubt the most passionate teacher and her zeal and enthusiasm was contagious. I'm so sad to hear of her passing but she definitely left a legacy behind that no one will ever be able to replace.
