Early lifeChristened as Ruth Marie Tobin, she attended public schools in Denver and traveled to Nevada and California with her parents and older brother. She managed a dance school while attending Loretto Heights College in Denver. Religious backgroundSister Tobin was a former Superior General of the Sisters of Loretto. She had been president of the congregation from 1958 to 1970. When she was invited to Rome, she was President of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. She did much of her work in her native Denver but traveled the world on missions for peace, including visits to Saigon, Paris, El Salvador and Northern Ireland. Thomas MertonWhile living at the Loretto Motherhouse in Nerinx, Kentucky, she became friends with Trappist monk Thomas Merton. Merton shared with her some of the works he was not allowed to publish. After Merton's death in 1968 she co-founded the International Thomas Merton Society and also established the Thomas Merton Center for Creative Exchange in Denver in 1979 where Merton's spirituality and writings came to be known by many. She gave Merton retreats and co-founded a Buddhist-Christian dialogue/meditation group in Denver. Tobin invited such theological luminaries as Fr. Edward Schillebeeckx, O.P., and Fr. Bernard Häring, C.Ss.R., to lecture at Loretto. She was an actress in the TV special: Merton: A Film Biography of Thomas Merton.[1] Political activismThe diminutive Sister supported women's ordination to the priesthood, opposed nuclear proliferation, supported the United Farm Workers and took on the Blue Diamond Coal Company by using Loretto's shares to challenge the firm's practices and took part in nonviolent actions at Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, the U.S. Air Force Academy and Martin-Marietta in Colorado. DeathShe died, aged 98, in 2006 from natural causes. Quote"You know I was just lying in bed thinking: If all the men on the planet suddenly got a virus that attacked only men, could women run the world? Would we be able to manage the subway system, for instance?" AnecdoteSister Maureen Fiedler recalled a card Tobin sent her a few years ago when Fiedler was involved in an "uncertain venture". It read: "Go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is."
