City of Grosse Pointe resident Margaret E. Pankhurst, 85, 
passed away on  October 9, 2003, after a courageous journey 
with ovarian cancer. Born in Oshkosh, WI in 1918 Margaret 
moved to Detroit as a little girl. She graduated from 
Southeastern High School and took art classes at Wayne State 
University and Center for Creative Studies. Mrs. Pankhurst was 
a talented watercolor artist and had an eye for design and 
color. She enjoyed painting landscapes, abstracts and her 
favorite, flowers. Margaret taught painting for many years and 
had her own art studio, "Pankhurst Painters Potpourri". Her 
children would often laugh and comment on the fact that people 
would start a painting or project and get stuck, "Mom would 
give it a few of her touches and they'd go home with an 
original Margaret Pankhurst painting to call their own". 
Margaret had a wonderful talent and an ever positive attitude 
about life. She made friends wherever she went. No one was a 
stranger. She was a member of the Grosse Pointe Artists 
Association, Women Painters & Sculptors and Pointe 10, an art 
group of women. Her six grandchildren, Megan, Matthew, 
Elizabeth and William Moran and Lauren and Meryl Pankhurst 
adored her. Because of her inspiration they all excelled in 
art at Grosse Pointe South High School, winning many awards. 
Because of Margarets ability to inspire young people in art, 
her family is setting up an art scholarship fund at Grosse 
Pointe South High School. Every year a scholarship will be 
given to a Senior going on to major in art in college. 
Margaret is survived by her daughter, Beth Moran (Joe), her 
son Bill (Linda) and her brother Bob Roadstrum, as well as her 
six grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 59 
years, Bill. A Memorial Service will be held at the Grosse 
Pointe War Memorial, 32 Lakeshore Dr., Grosse Pointe Farms on 
 October 20th. A viewing of her paintings will begin at 3 p.m. 
with the service at 4 p.m. Arrangements by A.H. Peters Funeral 
Home, 20705 Mack, Grosse Pointe Woods. Memorial contributions 
may be made to Margaret E. Pankhurst Art Scholarship Fund, C/O 
Mothers Club of Grosse Pointe South High School, 11 Grosse 
Pointe Blvd., Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236.

BEALE RUTH (BREMER) October 24, 2003
age 85. A memorial service will be held Saturday,  October 25, 
2003 for Ruth Beale of Rochester Hills, who died  October 13, 
2003. A professional woman long before it was common, Mrs. 
Beale combined a remarkable career with a full home life, 
strong friendships and a lifelong wanderlust. She graduated 
from Eastern High as class Secretary in 1936 and from Wayne 
University in 1940. In the late "30s, she was a counselor and 
archery instructor at the Girl Scout Camp Metamora. She taught 
home economics at Wayne High School and later in high schools 
in Jackson, MI and ran the foster care program at the Juvenile 
Court in Jackson. But Mrs. Beale was best known for her work 
in the Michigan State University's Cooperative Extension 
Service in Jackson County. Here she broke precedent by 
changing a program focused on rural issues to one that 
targeted the urban poor. She hired welfare mothers, trained 
them in nutrition, childcare and other home management skills, 
then supervised them as they worked directly with poor 
families. Her innovation was recognized with many awards. At 
one time she had a weekly newspaper column, a weekly radio 
show and a weekly TV show, in addition to her main job, 
running complex training programs. She made the work look 
effortless--maintaining a beautiful yard and garden, cooking 
good dinners from scratch. She was the kind of person who 
visited sick people and wrote chatty letters to lonely older 
folks. In 1976 Mrs. Beale represented the U.S. at an energy 
symposium in the Netherlands. In a 90-day sabbatical from MSU, 
she studied energy use in Europe, then in the U.S., traveling 
the country alone in the family VW camper. Mrs. Beale came 
from a family that loved traveling. While she was a child in 
the '20s, her family of eight drove to Yellowstone, setting up 
their tent in rural schoolyards, where they could use the 
water pump. At age 20, she led a group of younger Girl Scouts 
who rode bikes from Detroit to Chicago to see the 1939 Chicago 
Worlds Fair. As her own children grew up, she annually 
organized long driving vacations. After retirement, she and 
her husband traveled extensively, including almost any place 
in North America that can be reached by camper. Mrs. Beale's 
beloved husband Bert predeceased her in March after 61 years 
of marriage. She is survived by her sister, Mary Kogel and by 
three daughters and sons-in-law, Judy Rose (Jon Lowell), Janet 
and Frank Cassise, Sue Beale (Marty Magid) all of Bloomfield 
Hills. Also four grandchildren Christy Rose, Corey Rose, Mark 
Henderson, Annie Magid-Beale and five step-grandchildren 
Steven, Gary and Linda Magid and Dominique and Bradford 
Lowell. A memorial service is Saturday at Potere-Modetz 
Funeral Home, 339 Walnut, Rochester (one block west of 
Rochester Road just south of University). Family visitation is 
10 a.m., service at 11 a.m. followed by a reception. In lieu

KNIPP GENEIVEVE JOHANA MARIE October 29, 2003
(Jeanie) joined her beloved husband, Firman, in eternal 
paradise in the afternoon of  October 22, 2003. Jeanie was born 
in Portland, Oregon, on June 2, 1920, the only daughter of 
Virginia and Elmer Haugner and younger sister of Alfred. She 
married her handsome U.S. Naval Lt.Commander Firman Russell 
Knipp, a Pearl Harbor survivor, on January 12, 1943, in 
Hammond, Indiana, and patiently waited for his ship, the 
U.S.S. San Francisco, to return from the war. During this time 
she attended business school and worked for Indiana Power. 
After Firman's graduation from Purdue University in 1947, the 
couple moved to Dayton, Ohio. Jeanie gave birth to a daughter, 
Barbara Jo, in 1947 and a son Richard William in 1950. For 
many years she taught Sunday school and served on the Alter 
Guild at Faith Lutheran Church in Dayton. She, along with 
Firman, also served on many PTA boards. Jeanie donated much of 
her life to chauffeuring her children to dance classes and 
sporting events. She was a major fan of OSU football, unless 
they happened to be playing Purdue. In her younger and middle 
years, Jeanie had many friends and loved to dance and party. 
In the late 60's she and Firman moved to Bellefontaine, OH, 
where Firman was a District Manager for Dayton Power and 
Light. Jeanie enjoyed selling beautiful women's apparel at the 
Style Shop. Four years after Firman passed away in 1993, 
Jeanie moved to Highland, Michigan, to live with her daughter 
and family. In her elder years her favorite things were taking 
long walks with her black cocker spaniel, Rocky, and attending 
Milford High School's show choir concerts in which her 
grandchildren participated. She also saw her share of 
cross-country meets and soccer games, though she never really 
understood the latter! Jeanie is survived by her loving son, 
Richard Knipp, and his wife, Rosanna; and by her daughter, 
Barbara Kramer, and her husband, William, and their six 
children: Kara Lauren Watson (Kramer), Kristopher William, 
Kory Ryan, Kevin Paul, Kerry James, and Kathryn Elizabeth. 
Donations in her memory can be made to the Milford 
Presbyterian Church, 238 N. Main St, Milford, MI. A memorial 
service will take place in Bellefontaine, OH, in the spring of 
2004.
