MARIAN ELLIOTT RORIPAUGH, 92, died Saturday, July 20 at Fallbrook Skilled Nursing Facility. A native of Arvilla, N.D., Mrs. Roripaugh lived in Temecula 78 years.
She was a homemaker for more than 70 years. Mrs. Roripaugh was the widow of Leo Roripaugh, whose family began farming the Temecula area in the 1880s.
Mrs. Roripaugh studied painting. She was a member of the American Red Cross, the Civil Air Patrol, the Temecula Welcoming Committee and the Order of the Eastern Star.
Marion Roripaugh was not only a farmer's wife who tended to her two children. She tended to the whole community.
"She made it possible for everyone else around her to shine," said June Tull, her daughter.
Though the Temecula resident of 78 years never took the spotlight, her legacy shone Saturday during a "celebration of life" in her honor at Temecula Community Center. About 40 friends and acquaintances attended.
