Maury & Ursula made a welcome visit to us when we first joined St. Catherine's in 1993. Ursula was such a friendly, welcoming person and a fantastic cook. Our deepest sympathy. May the angels lead her to paradise

I had the honor of meeting Ursula through her dear friend, Rita, and I fell in love with her smile immediately. We loved knitting and laughing together. Ursula always supported my art endeavors and now, learning of her history, I consider it a blessing that she leaned into what I tried. I will miss her terribly.

I am so sorry for the loss of Ursula. Mr. Rykert, you and your family will be in my prayers. It has been many years since having the joy of talking with her but will always remember how she made me smile. Such a wonderful hostess. I know she is in her heavenly home now.

I’m sad to say so long to my long time dear friend of 60 years. But it’s not a good bye. I’m thankful to God we shall meet again. I am so blessed that she was brought into my life as neighbors, leading to a lifetime of friendship. I shall always be thankful and thankful for all the memories we shared. Rest in heaven, until we meet again. Much love, hugs and prayers to her beloved family.
