Tacoma Lutheran Retirement Community
Foundation Staff
The TLRC Foundation is working hard to serve the residents of TLRC! Although we have been blessed to meet many of you within our campus and beyond, we haven’t met everyone and look forward to the opportunity to get to know you in the future. We would like to take a moment to introduce ourselves so when you hear about the TLRC Foundation or choose to make a donation, you will know who we are and what we do. |

Ruthmarie Zimmerman, Director, TLRC Foundation: As former Assistant Vice President of Business Development at Columbia Bank, Ruthmarie has many connections to local businesses, and works hard to make sure the business community knows the importance of the mission of TLRC. With her efforts the last two years, both the annual Gala and individual donations have grown. Many of you have already met Ruthmarie’s dog Oso, who is a trained Pet Therapy Dog from the Prison Pet Partnership Program that works with Assisted Living residents. While we are blessed by Ruthmarie’s passion for her work, her priority is her family: her husband Warren and teenage children Robby and Katie. |
