NORTH NEWTON, Kan. — Teaching music was a theme throughout Harriet Rutschman's ministry in four Latin American countries, spanning four decades.
Known for her focus on relationships with people, she worked alongside her husband, Laverne, in church planting, pastoral ministry and education.
Rutschman, of North Newton, died Sept. 7 at the age of 82.
"Her soul was sustained by music like her friends were sustained by her letters," said Rosemary Wyse Reimer. "In my travels I am always amazed at how many people have such good memories of Harriet teaching them piano or music, be it in South Dakota, Bolivia, Costa Rica or Uruguay."
