Community leader Claudette Rue passed away Oct 24 2017. She followed her husband Al and good friend, Harold Brewer to their rest.

She and her husband spear-headed community leadership for several decades on behalf of Skyland (North City Park), Inter Neighborhood Cooperation, The Denver Foundation and (then) Council District 8.

Under their leadership, the NCP community thrived. The Civic Association was noted for having the largest paid member base in Colorado. Over 400 households belonged to the NCPCA when the census showed just at 1100 households at the time. There were many committees, which Claudette assisted in forming and then stepping back to allow new leadership to participate.

Most notable were the Buddy System, (to support elderly ladies living alone), the Welcome New Neighbor Committee (under the direction of Odessa Burch) and the annual competition; “Best Yard / Landscape” in which two homes won gift and cash awards and had the honor of placing the winner sign in their front lawn for the month.

Services to follow at Messiah Community Church at 2 pm.
