Ruby “Lou” Louise McFolin was born September 14, 1923 in Nashville, Tennessee to Obadiah and Lillian (Carlisle) McFolin. Lou grew up in Nashville, but later moved with her family to California. She was a 1941 graduate from Pomona High School in California.
While living in California, Lou met the love of her life, Glenmore on a cruise to Catalina Island while he was on leave. On April 16, 1944, Ruby was united in marriage to Glenmore Eyrich in New Ulm. The couple raised their son and three daughters in New Ulm where Lou worked from the home as a mother and home-maker, but also worked at the local Pamida.
Glenmore later passed in 1965. On April 15, 1972, Lou was united in marriage to Ruben Klein in New Ulm. He later passed in 2001.
There were a variety of hobbies that always brought Lou great joy in life. She enjoyed spending time outdoors in the summers tending to her beautiful flower gardens. Many cherished memories were made on camping trips over the years as well.
Lou could always find time to keep up with her reading with a faithful canine companion by her side. Lou was a member of the First United Methodist Church in New Ulm where she was an active volunteer with the church circle as well as with the Grey Ladies and the American Red Cross. Although Lou lived a long and beautiful life she will be forever remembered by those who knew and loved her.
Never to be forgotten were the many family gatherings where her warm smile, laughter, and grace could light up the room. Blessed be her memory.
