Life Sketch

Ruth Breneisse Duerksen

Ruth Breneisse Duerksen was born in Greenway, South Dakota, on 28, 1925. She grew up in a farming family, speaking German at home and English at school and participated in all the actions that make a farm operate. However, an early shock was losing her father to appendicitis in 1934. The Dust Bowl years were hard, but the family, with the assistance of extended family, persevered and survived.

Education was the lodestone of her life. She graduated from the eighh grade in 1938, and from Plainview Academy (high school) in 1943. She pursued her dream of college education for close to 10 years, before finally graduating with her BA in Education from Union in 1954.

graduation, she taught in various schools in New Mexico and Texas for the next 10 years. While teaching in New Mexico, she met Jimmie Duerksen, and they were married in 1957. marriage, they lived in Albuquerque, NM for the next 23 years, while teaching in local schools. Penny was born in 1960 and Russell was born in 1964.

The family moved to Tucson in 1970, where Ruth would live for the next 42 years. She taught in various Tucson schools for 25 years, until she was 70, and obtained her Masters Degree in Education from the University of Arizona in 1975.

While in Tucson, she loved to observe the native wildflowers and cacti. She brought a portion of that beauty back to her yard, in her wildflower and cacti gardens. Whenever she observed a new species of penstamon, she would make a note of the location, and return later in the year to obtain seeds. At the time she left Tucson, she had seven species of penstamon growing in her garden.

retirement, she volunteered for over 15 years at the Friends of the Library, joined TOPS, and walked 2-4 miles daily, until arthritis of the spine made her bedridden. Once her health failed, she moved to Loma Linda in 2012 to spend the last years of her life at the Loma Linda Brookdale/Emeritas. Her husband preceded her in death in 2014. She passed to her rest, awaiting the morning, on 9, 2017.

She is survived by her daughter, Penny Duerksen-Hughes, PhD, an associate dean and scientist at Loma Linda Univeristy, by her son, Russell Duerksen, JD, an attorney in private practice, and by seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Obituary: Life Sketch
Jimmie (Harold) Duerksen

Jimmie was born on 16, 1928, in Shafter, California, as the 8th of 10 children. His family was a farming family, and when he was small, his family participated in everse migration when they moved from California to the high plains of northwestern New Mexico, near Grants, to do dry land bean farming. Jimmie, then known as Harold, had many interesting experiences as a child in rural New Mexico. Perhaps the most notable was when he was struck by lightning while caring for his horse. The horse was seriously injured and had to be put down, while Harold was blinded in one eye.

By the time he was in his late teens, the family had moved to more fertile cropland in the Rio Grande Valley near Albuquerque. During this period, Harold spent two years at a boarding high school in the midwest at Enterprise Academy. returning to Albuquerque, he heard the explosion and felt the shock wave from the first atomic test at White Sands while working on his fathers farm.

When called up for military service during Korea, Harold discovered that his given name was actually Jimmy rather than Harold. being released from his military obligations, Jimmy obtained employment at the Veterans Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving in several roles and acquiring various skills over a period of years. Eventually, he became a corrective therapy assistant, a position that he would hold in excess of 35 years. He retired in the early 90s after 42 years with the Veterans Hospital, and moved to Tucson.

Shortly after beginning his employment at the Veterans Hospital, Jimmie met an attractive teacher, Ruth. were married in 1957, and were close to their 60th anniversary at the time of his death.

In retirement, Jimmie focused on the two Gs: gardening and grandkids. He travelled frequently to visit his children and grandchildren, who treasure the memory of time spent with grandpa. His gardens were always wonderful, and he enjoyed spending hours in them first digging, then planting and weeding, and then reaping the harvest. His trademark was his onions, which he carried from place to place all his life. We have brought starts of his onions with us today, and you are welcome to take one and plant it in your garden in remembrance.

A man of faith, he said little, but preached volumes through the way he lived his life. He is survived and greatly missed by his wife, Ruth, children Penny and Russell, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, and by a legion of friends.

are under the direction of Montecito Memorial Park & Mortuary, Colton, California.
