SUMMARY:Coffee & Connection
DESCRIPTION:Grab a Bite. Meet Some People. \nAfter worship\, hang out for a low-key coffee hour — a chance to share some snacks\, sip something warm\, and have real conversation with folks you might not have met yet. No pressure\, no small talk required (unless you’re into that). \nWant to help make it happen? Sign up here to bring snacks\, make coffee\, or help with cleanup. It’s a simple way to pitch in — and a great excuse to connect.

She had spent most of her life in Cambridge\, a city that suited her perfectly: quirky\, intellectually serious\, and full of hidden gardens. \nRebecca was born in Concord on January 28\, 1946\, the daughter of Robert and Eve (Dyer) Ramsay. She earned a Master’s Degree in French Literature and spent much of her career at Harvard University\, supporting faculty in the Economics Department. But her education was never limited to what a degree could certify. She read continuously\, attended lectures at the French Library\, participated in French reading and poetry groups\, followed the politics and human rights movements of Central America with sustained attention\, and showed up for decades to a Suitcase Seminar whenever our denomination offered one. Learning\, for Rebecca\, was not a phase of life; it was her whole approach to it. \nShe also loved birds and animals and gardens with a devotion that was more than sentiment. It showed up in how she tended things\, how she paid attention to the natural world\, and even how she ate. Rebecca was a lifelong vegetarian and she avoided sugar with a discipline that most of us could not match (and she was not shy about recommending that others do the same!). \nThose of us who knew her from her decades as a member of Hillside knew her as someone who consistently showed up to serve. She sang in the choir. She edited the newsletter. She served on the Church Council. She greeted people at the door. She helped with coffee hour. She attended Women’s World Days of Prayer and women’s spiritual growth groups. And\, most telling of her character\, she volunteered to mow the lawn\, biking over in the August heat and refusing to use anything but a manual push mower. \nHer life outside the walls of our church was equally full. She sang for decades with the Somerville Community Chorus and later with the Senior Center chorus. She volunteered with Fresh Pond cleanup. She belonged to an organization that tended apple trees in Cambridge yards\, harvested the fruit\, and made applesauce\, returning some to the homeowners. She spent weeks of vacation cleaning up sections of the Appalachian Trail in exchange for room and board. She skied and rowed\, sailed and canoed\, ran races\, ice skated\, and danced ballet. She kayaked. She drew and painted. She printed her own Christmas cards by hand\, block print by block print. \nRebecca was preceded in death by her brothers Stephen and Robert. She is survived by her nephew Todd Newton Ramsay\, his wife Leann\, and a wider circle of family and friends who were lucky enough to have known her well. \nThere is a kind of person whose presence registers quietly but whose absence registers loudly. Rebecca Ramsay was that person. She never needed to be the center of attention. She was too busy doing the actual work: the mowing\, the harvesting\, the singing\, the showing up. We give thanks to God for a life lived with that much intention and that much grace. \nThe day and time of Rebecca’s memorial service are TBD. In lieu of flowers\, her family invites donations in her memory to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)\, honoring her lifelong love of animals\, birds\, and wildlife. Donations may be made at www.worldwildlife.org/donate[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
