A Gift That Keeps Giving

In the name of her mother, Ruth N. Fitzpatrick, Kelli Burrill and her husband Steven have established an endowment fund for the Kendallville Public Library through the Noble County Community Foundation. To commemorate this donation, a plaque will be placed in the fireplace area of the library, to memorialize Ruth’s love of books and a favorite place to read them.

Annual distributions from the fund will purchase children’s materials for the Kendallville Public Library. Donations can be made to the Ruth N. Fitzpatrick Memorial Fund through the Noble County Community Foundation.
