Beverley “Ruth” Kauffeldt
May 27, 1940 – December 4, 2024
Peacefully at home, surrounded by family on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at the age of 84. Beloved wife of Glenn for 64 years. Loving mother of Kirk (Shelley), Kelly (Garry), Kendell (Bev), and Kelvin (Jen). Devoted grandmother of Devon (Keeler), Kaitlyn (Tyler), Kayla (Tyler), Kody (Kia), Karlee (Brogan), Felix, Isaac, Jason (Reegan), Darrell, Natalie, April, and great-grandmother of Alexis, Kenzie, Lainey, August, Silas, and Kohen.
Dear sister of Sharon (Jim), Gordon (Donna) and predeceased by Lorraine (late John) and David (late Lynne). Ruth will also be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan on May 27, 1940, to Ian and Verda Presley, Ruth was an exemplary woman of God. She fully trusted the Lord as she served Him as a nurse in Ontario, the Maritimes, and as a missionary for 27 years in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Married to Ernie Glenn on October 8, 1960, she was a faithful and loving wife, a caring mother, and a dedicated pastor’s wife. She was characterized by her faith in Jesus Christ, being a fervent prayer warrior, graciously hosting all who walked through her door, and showering her love on others by cooking delicious meals! Her greatest joy was knowing that her children, grandchildren, and their spouses are all serving the Lord. She leaves a rich, spiritual legacy and has now received her full reward in the presence of her Lord and Saviour.
A funeral service will be held on December 16, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Calvary Baptist Church, 300 Rossland Rd. E., Oshawa. Arrangements entrusted to McINTOSH-ANDERSON-KELLAM FUNERAL HOME LTD., 152 King St. E., Oshawa (905-433-5558). A spring interment will take place in Quadeville, ON.
