Ruby May Kletscher was born November 24, 1933 to Ben and Gertrude (Zimmer) Kletscher at home in Redwood County near Vesta, Minnesota.  On July 1, 1951, Ruby married Orlen Meier at St. John Lutheran Church in Vesta.  The couple settled on the family farm near Vesta, where they raised three children, Deborah, Bruce and Kim.  Ruby and Orlen moved to a farm by Redwood Falls in 1983.  They later moved into Redwood Falls in 1992 and at last settled in Willmar.  Ruby’s faith was very important to her and anywhere she lived, she was very involved with her church.
