Letter from her 50th Class Reunion

I worked several places after graduating but at the time we were married I was working as a secretary for the Block & Kuhl Department store in South Bend.  I married Cleo C. Roadruck in 1930 and moved to Battle Ground where we lived for a little over 30 years.   When we were married Cleo had a daughter, Dorthy Burton, who lives in El Cajon, CA.  We had a daughter, Lois Christopher, and a son, Clifford, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1963.

After our children were married, we sold our home in Battle Ground and moved to Brookston.  After living there for 12 years we moved to Lafayette.  We particulary like living here as it is a regular "Sun City" neighborhood of retired people whom we enjoy very much.

After moving to Brookston I went to work as a secretary for the Wesley Foundation at Purdue.  I retired in 1974 after working there for 12 years.  Cleo retired in 1974 after working for 34 years from TRW Ross Gear Division.

  Catherine Conn Roadruck, 81, of Lafayette, died early Dec. 24, 1988, in Americana Healthcare Center.
  Born Nov. 28, 1907, in Delphi, she was the daughter of Robert M. and Catherine Bowen Conn.  Her marriage was in August 1930 to Cleo C. Roadruck, who survives.
  A 1927 graduate of Delphi High School, she worked as a secretary for 12 years at Wesley Foundation before retiring.
  She was a member of Congress Street United Methodist Church and Home Hospital Auxiliary.
  Surviving with the husband are two daughters, Dorothy Burton, El Cajon, Calif., and Lois Christopher of Carmel; two sisters, Amy L. Bormuth of LaPorte and Faith Conn of Delphi; two brothers, Harry Conn, Rockford, Ill. and Bowen Conn, Houston, Tex.; two grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
  She was preceded in death by one son and one grandson.
  Private graveside services were Tuesday at Rest Haven Memorial Park, Lafayette.
  Memorials may be made to Congress Street United Methodist Church.
