Through a cousin she met Martha Stoll, and together they spent a year with the Hahnloser family, first in Caux and then with Heinrich Schaefer in Lucerne, where she was able to put her secretarial skills to good use.

At the same time she felt responsible for her sick mother. Caux had a profound effect on Ruth's life. The four criteria were her guiding light and she always remained faithful to the daily meditation.

It was late in life that she discovered her gift for watercolor and the pleasure of painting. Beautiful paintings of flowers and some landscapes later decorated her room. Painting courses, walks in the mountains, all this was close to her heart.

In the summer of 2005 a stroke left Ruth paralyzed on one side. This was the beginning of a difficult period, but thanks to the sensitivity of a therapist, she was able to continue painting delicate watercolors with her left hand and use her creativity.

Ruth Lauffer, who was born in 1925 and grew up in Kilchberg (ZH), passed away on February 17, 2010 at the age of 85.
