THE HOUSE OF GOD WHICH IS THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD, THE PILLAR AND GROUND OF THE TRUTH, WITHOUT CONTROVERSY, INC., KEITH DOMINION Bishop Rebecca W. Fletcher, Chief Overseer International Missionary Outreach Society General Elder Evelyn Campbell, President Elder Dr. Geraldine L. Gaffney, Vice President EXTENDING DEEP and HEARTFELT SYMPATHY “Resolution Certificate in Loving Memory of” Bishop Margret L. Rucker We, the members of International Missionary Outreach Society, offer our deepest condolences to you and your family, and want the family to know that our hearts are with you as you gather to bid good-bye to a precious and valiant woman, of God. It’s hard to loose someone that meant so much to you. Someone who touched your life, who helped you make it through. Someone who will be dearly missed, who just can’t be replaced. We are in place in this world for a limited time, and with the breath of the infant begins the race to the grave. A race everyone must run. “Whereas, in the providence of God, He has brought to a close the life of our beloved Bishop Margret L. Rucker who returned to her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, June 9, 2020 in the arms of her daughter and grandson.” “John 11:25-27 Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” “Whereas, Bishop Margaret Rucker demonstrated a lifelong commitment to God and served her church with faithfulness as: assistant pastor to the Hazelwood (Blue Ash) Mission, she served as secretary for the House of God Home for Girls and chauffer to Bishop M. F. L. Keith, pastor of the church in Blue Ash, Ohio, pastor of Dayton, Ohio, president of the State Ministers Council, member of the General Trustee Board and Supreme Executive Council.” “Whereas, the home going of this servant who did strive to make sure things were done “decently and in order”.... has caused a deep sadness in the IMOS body, we affirm she will be remembered well.” “We the officers and members of The International Missionary Outreach Society feel that it is befitting to express our sympathy to the family during the passing of our Beloved Bishop Margret Rucker; who served faithfully as a member of this organization for the past seventy nine years ....that is being saved and receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost at the age of 14 and immediately called to the ministry. We commend her to Him (God) who knoweth best and will always do right. You have our sincere prayers.” “Be it Resolved, that we bow in humble submission to Him who never makes a mistake and remind the family to be encouraged by remembering this poem.” "Therefore be it Resolved, that we embrace the family because all of us have a common bond that will connect us for the rest of your lives. We cannot replace Bishop Margret Rucker, but will attempt to demonstrate her love, her charity, and continue to serve others as she so splendidly did!"

To the Rucker and Rhodes family we regret we are unable to attend the service of this great woman of God. We recall on April 9, 2017, the Essex, Maryland House of God Church fellowship with the Ohio Diocese in celebrating Bishop Rucker's Bishop Anniversary. The theme was, "Time, Not Wasted! Is Not in Vain!," Ecclesiastes 9:10). Indeed, Bishop Rucker did all she could in serving God with her hands, head, heart, strength and all her might. We loved her and she loved us. She will be greatly missed. State Elder Dr. Jacqueline Taylor and the Essex Family.

In Loving Memories of my Friend Bishop Margaret L. Rucker. I have Fond Memories of This Anointed Woman of God. We became even closer a few years ago, when I kept her Favorite Cane for The Close of one General Assembly until the Opening of the next. She left it outside her dorm as she left to return home. I loved to see her and her sister Dea's Rubie Lewis, during our General Assembly. For years I thought the Chrysler 300 was Dea's Lewis car. I often told Maureen how she Favored and sound like her mom Bishop Rucker. Lastly when I met Bishop Rucker she couldn't stand long to Minister to the Congregation, instead she utilized a protable stool and The Power Of God Spoke like never before through her. Hey Gloraaaay.:raised_hands::pray:. Continue To Rest In Paradise Bishop Margaret L. Rucker With A Sadden :broken_heart: Trial Dea. Darryl D. Thomas
