The Migros community mourns the passing of Adele Duttweiler at the age of 97 at her home in Rüschlikon on 27 May 1990. The burial at the cemetery in Rüschlikon is followed by a funeral service at the Fraumünster Church in Zurich, which is filled to capacity. Jules Kyburz, President of the FMC Board of Directors delegation, describes what Adele Duttweiler meant to her husband and to Migros in a moving tribute. Pastor Peter Vogelsanger recalls the various chapters in this remarkable woman's life.
