IN MEMORIAM ETHEL WRIGHT<br />
It was with great sadness we learned of the death of Ethel Wright on October 18, 2011. Ethel was<br />
the maternal grandmother of Fr. Patrick Foutts, O.Praem., a member of the abbey, and she was a<br />
great benefactor of our community as well. She was 92 years old. She was married to LeRoy Wright<br />
for 72 years, and they had two daughters, Susan and Janet. She was beloved by people of all ages<br />
because she was friendly, kind and always sought to help those in need. May her soul rest in peace.<br />
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Maxine Louise Ruhl, who died at the age of 73, on October<br />

Maxine was a chef who worked for at the priory of the Norbertine fathers in San Pedro, California<br />
until her retirement in 2006. After retirement, Maxine and her husband Joseph moved to their vacation<br />
home in Cocolalla, Idaho.<br />
May her soul rest in peace.<br />
