Rev. Roger Blanchard, Episcopal bishop
The Right Rev. Roger W. Blanchard, former Episcopal bishop of southern Ohio, died Tuesday
at his home in Round Pond, Maine, following a lengthy illness. He was 88.
Bishop Blanchard led the Diocese of Southern Ohio from 1959 to 1971. The Brockton, Mass., native left Cincinnati for the denomination's headquarters to become vice president of the executive council of the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A.
He retired in 1974 but remained active in several ministries, serving as assistant bishop of Massachusetts from 1982 to 1989.
In March 1968, amid Cincinnati's racial strife, Bishop Blanchard was among black and white clergy to organize Metropolitan Area Religious Coalition of Cincinnati, urging the religious community to take a more active role in resolving racial discord.
"He was very active in the community. He was appointed by the mayor to do special work on racial matters," recalled retired Rabbi Albert Goldman, a MARCC co-founder. "He was very concerned about Cincinnati's racial community problems and gave real leadership at the time."
He held an undergraduate degree from Boston University and in 1936 he graduated from Episcopal Theological School.
He is survived by a daughter, two sons, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Maria Bernardin, mother of late Cardinal Bernardin
Maria Bernardin, mother of the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, died Thursday in Chicago from heart failure at age 93.
Mrs. Bernardin died at a Little Sisters of the Poor nursing home with her daughter, Elaine Addison, by her side, according to the Archdiocese of Chicago. Her son, Cardinal Bernardin, died on Nov. 14, 1996 after a long battle with cancer.
Mrs. Bernardin went to Chicago from Cincinnati in 1982 when her son was appointed archbishop of Chicago, replacing Cardinal John Cody. Bernardin, who had been archbishop of the Cincinnati Archdiocese, was later elevated to cardinal and became one of Chicago's most revered religious leaders.
When told her son was a member of the College of Cardinals, she told him, "Do good, darling."
Friends described her as a short, thin woman who spoke softly and with a heavy Italian accent. They said her son turned to her frequently for advice about his religious life.
Bernardin visited his mother frequently. However, he did not tell her when he was diagnosed with cancer, saying he didn't know if she would fully compre
hend or remember. Mrs. Bernardin's husband died of cancer in 1934.
Funeral services for Maria Bernardin, which are incomplete, will be held in Columbia, S.C.

Ruth Teitz escaped Holocaust
to build proud life, raise family
Ruth Teitz, 91, a longtime Roselawn resident who fled Nazi Germany as a young woman, died Friday evening in Seattle after battling cancer.
She came to the United States in the spring of 1941, after growing up in the Thueringer Forest area of Germany. As a young woman, she served as secretary of her orthodox Jewish congregation, but she witnessed the flames of her burning synagogue on Kristallnacht, Nov. 10, 1938.
After her father was imprisoned by the Nazis, he insisted she flee Germany and escape to America, where he had happily worked as a young man in New York City before returning to family duties in Germany.
She arrived in Brooklyn, N.Y., in the spring of 1941 and worked as a housekeeper. She had arrived with only 50 pounds of personal belongings and $10.
After corresponding with a widowed Cincinnati physician, Dr. Leo Teitz, she moved to Cincinnati as a bride. By 1951, Mrs. Teitz was a widow with two daughters to raise, Joyce, 7, and Carol, 2.
A rabbi found her a job as secretary at Hebrew Day School, which her husband had co-founded. She continued there for 26 years, augmenting her salary by taking in boarders.
She was proud that her older daughter, Joyce Teitz Wood, of Brighton, England, earned a Harvard law degree, and that her younger daughter, Carol Teitz Sanford, of Seattle, became an orthopedic physician after graduating from Yale.
As an older adult, Mrs. Teitz enjoyed seeing friends at the Jewish Community Center and attended ballet/slimnastic and swimmercise classes five times a week well into her 80s.
She traveled the globe as an elder senior. She delighted in her twin grandsons, Jonathan and David Sanford, of Seattle, and her English granddaughters, Dora and Lucy Wood.
Services were today at Weil Funeral Home.
