Ruth Elaine Klingenberg

Love and miss you so much grandma Ruth I know we talked the most out of a lot of people on my moms side . I'm just happy you get to see my mom and your other daughter Jackie again. Will always love you grandma I wish I could have been there one last time to see you it's hard to think your gone but you always showed me so much love !!

So sorry for your great losses not only of Ruth but also of Mary,Jackie and some of her family. You and Ruth have touched our lives in Lamont and later several years at 1st. Assembly of God. The marriage class was excellant where I believe you taught the importance of a date once a week. I think the Lord used it to save our marriage. Ruth also took time out to pray with me and share a lunch together. She was certainly a treasure. Sending prayers and love to you and your family.

Cannot express enough thanks and gratefulness for the gift of God in Ruth and Pastor your influence in my life has no words. There is just something about those who just show up, even when times are hard.
Ruthie will surely be missed, but cannot help imagining the joy she has in being held by Jesus, and delight in reunion with her girls.

We loved Sis. Ruth. She was such an inspiration to me as a youth and as a young pastor's wife. Her countenance glowed with the love of Christ. Brooks and I were honored to know her. We were part of the Pre-marriage Perspectives class before we were married. We appreciated the insight and generous transparency the Klingenberg's demonstrated. We are so grateful for their friendship over the years and their sterling example of God's love and faithfulness.

Dearest Bob and family,

And she did!! She loved Jesus in a powerful way. What a wonderful example of...

Our heartfelt sympathy to your family We have such warm memories of our years of friendship and ministry at Grand Rapids First Church One of Gods true and faithful servants is now home with her precious savior!

Dear Pastor Bob and Klingenberg family I offer my deepest sympathies to you.
Ruth was one of the kindest, sweetest souls I've ever known. Her love was genuine and pure as a she had a heart for Jesus and the people around her.
I'm reminiscing about our many visits in the living room and around the dinner table in Caledonia and Canadian lakes. I loved her songs to Jesus In praise and worship as she was preparing our meals. Also the warm feelings of love and compassion she had for my...
