Ada Ruth Dogger
November 4, 1925 — September 22, 2013
Harlingen, TX:
Ada Ruth Emde Dogger, 87, died on Sunday, September 22, 2013 at Golden Palms Retirement and Health Care Center. She was the beloved wife of James R. Dogger and beloved mother Allen James, Stuart Jon and Gary Robert Dogger.
Ada Ruth was born and raised in Wisconsin, lived in Oklahoma, North Carolina, North Dakota, Georgia, and the Washington D.C. area (Maryland and Virginia), also in England and Peru.
She was a trained instructor, including special education for the deaf. She earned a B.S. in Microbiology and an M.S. in Radiation Health Physics (radioisotopes). She taught classes, ranging from preschool to second year college, and was a member of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
She is the author of three books. “Listen..Please??” deals with orienting deaf and hearing impaired children toward accomplishing necessary tasks needed to develop their education and human potential. “Rainbow of Hope” addresses young people growing up in the U.S. during the “cold war” years. “La Pucelle” was inspired by a book “The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc” by Louis De Conte. It was written in the first person of a young man who grew up with and was a personal friend of Joan. Ada Ruth’s research revealed that the real name of the author was Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark Twain! Ada Ruth’s story is a parallel biography, written in the first person of Joan!
Ada Ruth’s religious faith was evidenced in the Lutheran and Presbyterian churches. She served on the steering committee leading to the founding of the Cary (NC) Presbyterian Church. She was an Anthroposophist and an advocate for the Waldorf School system.
Ada Ruth always maintained that her highest calling was that of wife and mother.
Time and place of memorial services have yet to be determined. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, it is Ada Ruth’s wish that any memorial gifts be made to the Washington Waldorf School, designated Gary Dogger Memorial Fund, Attn. Business Office, 4400 Sangamore Rd., Bethesda, MD 20816.
