Marguerite Carruthers, day-care mom of perhaps more than one hundred Beacon Hill kids, was killed in a car accident in Kent last week, at the age of 97. From 1950 to 1988, “Mrs. C” ran a day care center in her home near 15th and Snoqualmie. A memorial is to be held at 11:00 am on Friday at St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church, 13055 Southeast 192nd Street, Renton. All of Mrs. C’s day care kids are invited.
