Hannah Rupp Obituary

Hannah Elisabeth Rupp MT. PLEASANT - Hannah Elisabeth Rupp, 17, of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, passed away suddenly from natural causes on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. A Celebration of Her Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 19, 2014 in the East Cooper Baptist Church, 361 Egypt Road. Interment will follow in Mount Pleasant Memorial Gardens at 1:00 p.m. The family will greet friends at East Cooper Baptist Church during a reception following the service on Saturday. Arrangements by J. HENRY STUHR INC., MOUNT PLEASANT CHAPEL. Hannah was born August 15, 1996 in Augusta, Georgia, daughter of Ned Tracy Rupp, M.D. and Charlene Howard Rupp. She was a graduate of Palmetto Christian Academy, with plans to attend Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA in the fall, from which she was awarded a Teachers Education Scholarship. She was active in her church family, East Cooper Baptist Church, where she loved participating in the Middle and High School Mission Trips, was active in the High School Ministry, was a member of the Bible Discipleship Group, taught in Vacation Bible School, and served as a Teacher's Aide for the second and third grades at Palmetto Christian Academy. Hannah was a previous member of the Chorus, both through her home schooling and PCA. She worked hard for her grades in school, and through her diligence, and discipline was admitted to the National Honor Society. Hannah was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and that defined her life. As a daughter and sister, she exhibited a gracious and caring spirit, quick to encourage with word and actions of kindness and easily forgave any offense. Simply put, she cared for others more than herself. Friends have described her as living life with the assurance of heaven and a laugh and effervescent smile that could brighten a room. She was a sweet spirit with a passionate soul who always reached out with a helping hand. She radiated happiness and spoke words full of love and truth, never deceiving. As a reliable friend, she could rejoice in the accomplishments and successes of others. What a giving heart! "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." Winnie the Pooh (Hannah's absolute favorite fictional character). She is survived by her parents, Dr. Ned and Charlene Howard Rupp of Mt. Pleasant, SC; her brother, Jonathan Wesley Rupp of Mount Pleasant, SC; her grandmother, Mary Emma Howard of Tampa, FL; her uncles and aunts, Kent and Kim Rupp of Osseo, MI, Brian and Julia Rupp of Stryker, OH; and her cousins, great-uncles and great-aunts. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, John Lewis Howard of Tampa, FL and Orville Carl Rupp and Frieda Louise Rupp of Archbold, OH. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you celebrate Hannah's life through memorials in honor of Hannah made payable to East Cooper Baptist Church for "WORLD" (a Christian worldview magazine-Hannah's favorite since early childhood). A memorial message may be sent to the family by visiting our website at www.jhenrystuhr.com. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston

Even though it has been 9 years since Hannah's going to heaven when God took her home suddenly. We still miss her and every year at this time we go to the beach for 2 weeks and she was my roommate. and my swim mate we would go and lay by the pool and get hot then take a swim. We could not stay out in the sun like I used to do and she never could because of her fair skin and red hair.We look forward to the time of seeing you again and my time is getting closer I won't have another 9 years probably/

It has been 5 years today since God Called my precious grand-daughter home. We all still miss her very much. She was such a vibrant beautiful girl. If she were still here she would be out of college and getting ready to teach or maybe even be going on the mission field,but God had a special job for her and took her homesooner than we would have liked.

Dr. Rupp, The days have gotten longer. Our days are getting shorter until we meet Hannah again. Our Lord and Saviour will come or He will let us go to her. What ever will be the reunion will be sweet. I pray for you and your family. I know we love to catch up each time but there is never enough time to catch up on everything. Just know friends are always around when needed. We consider you ours. May God continue to Bless you as you minister to the needs of others. The Gambles from Andrews. Teressa, Randy and Traci

Dr. Rupp - I haven't seen you in a while as a patient - however I just heard of your daughter's passing. I wish to tell you how sorry I am. I know you are an awesome homeschool dad and a great doctor. I can only imagine what a great Dad you were to her. I remember you sharing homeschool stories with me and my two homeschooled girls. One day - you will see her again.

Dr. Rupp and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. No words and express or help in times like these. Just know God holds

Dear Rupp family,

We are very sorry for the loss of your wonderful daughter. She used to be in our Sunday School class, and we remember her happy spirit and her beautiful heart. She was so proud of her family, and talked about it with so much joy. You made her very happy, and she loved being your daughter.

May our God comfort you and give you his peace. Thank you for being so loving toward Hannah.

Sincerely,

Vukica and Senad Cerovic

Charlene and Family,
So sorry to hear of your great loss. What a blessing to see wonderful youth like Hannah in today's world. You and Ned were great parents for her and taught her well. I do believe that God sends angels to live among us and touch our lives, but doesn't mean for them to stay long. He lent her to you for a while then called her home. Praying for each of you at this difficult time in your lives.

My friend Jay S. told me of your loss. I have never met your family but Jay was very upset at Hannah's passing. I read about her on the internet site and I felt a connection with her. It is terrible to lose a loved one but to lose a child...well the heartbreak must be unbearable. Hannah's death did help me realize how much more I have to remember to turn to God. In the brief time I knew anything about her, she has already impacted my life. God bless,

Dear Ned and Charlene,
Kermit and I were stunned to learn of Hannah's sudden passing. I still have vivid memories of her smiles and enthusiasm as she showed me her bedroom years ago and then again as Kermit took you all on a tour of Paris. I regret I did not get to know her as a young woman. I also of have vivid memories of my Grandfather's load moans at my mother's funeral. Death is not natural and to loose a child seems the cruelest loss of all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today as you say your last good byes. May the God of all hope fill you with His peace and sustain you in the coming days, months and years. Cheryl and Kermit

Dear Charlene and Ned: It has been quite a while since I've heard any news of the Rupp family so how distressing to learn of the death of your beloved daughter.

Ned, Betty sent the announcement tonight. I had no idea that you all were going through something like this. She sounds like a wonderful person, and I suspect that she was even better than her description!

None of us knows the answers to the questions that we have when something like this happens. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.

Dear Rupp family,
My heart grieves for you for the loss of beautiful Hannah. Her happy smile and infectious laugh filled my classroom with joy. It was always evident that Hannah 'a faith and her Savior were the center of her life. Today, Heaven rejoices because "precious in the eyes of The Lord are the deaths of His saints," and as we grieve, we are sure of her great joy because "to be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord." Your sweet Hannah will be missed.
