A Daughter's Story of Her Mother "PATCHES THE CLOWN"

"Patches" was born in 1979 in Bismarck, ND.  

Ruth G Robertson-Kubberness started the "Holy Fools" Who were Clowns for Christ, and "Patches" was the beginning. She started at McCabe Untied Methodist Church in Bismarck, ND. She went before two governors and had April 1st declared as "Holy Fools Day". It came from the this passage, 1 Corinthians 4:10 "We Are Fools For Christ." She has helped Senator Gary Dahl with his campaign and clowned in several parades in Illinois.

She had been hired for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, parades and store even hired her to hand out balloon animals, which she was rather good at making.  She did skits and had several clown partners.

She went to Clown College in Wisconsin and was even inducted into the Clown Hall of Fame with her own brick which has her name on it.

She is a giving, kind, loving women with so much love to give to others.

She has a heart of gold and has passed her love of God to all three of us children. I dedicate my blog today to my mom. Life would be so sad without her. She has enough love for every person she meets. She also works at Red Cross and is very involved in her church. She currently lives in Peru, IL.
