Ruth will be missed! I admired her for her independence and confidence. She seemed far younger than her years in spirit and spunk. She was not your typical 87 year old! I am forever grateful to her for introducing my two favourite people to each other-my best friends Mark and Joan. With love to all the family,
Bev
Will always remember laughter when ever Ruth and her two bothers & wives were visiting. Lots of great card games played and great conversations.
Fond memories and the end of another important generation in our family.
Much love to all. xo
Here’s hoping you’re able to find comfort in happy memories. Ruth will live on in your hearts forever.
We may be at the other end of the country, but we loved her no less! My heart is with all of you. So full of life and laughter, with the fondest of memories when we spent Christmas Eve together here in Vancouver! Love to you all.
My Dear Aunt Ruth what a feisty woman you were ,we did not always agree,but I knew you were always in my corner. I will so miss your daily e-mails,+love messages.Please have a wonderful time up there with Mom+Dad[+ all}You have been a “legend” in time. L.Dawn +fam.
We’ve known Ruth for over forty years but she was ever an independent 39.
Ruth’s always positive attitude served her well in sales and life: after a visit from Ruth, clients would wonder how they ever got along before without her products or services?
Ruth was caring and generous and even opened her home to us: we still miss the late nights with Tom Snyder on TV and the pizza.
Having a keen intelligence and a “wicked” sense of humour, Ruth had a reply for everyone and was the “comeback queen” of London.
To Cheryl, Tammy, Mark and families, our condolences and prayers are with you.
Dear Tammy, I was so sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing. I hope it is some comfort to know that others are thinking of you at this difficult time. I enjoyed hearing you tell me about her wonderful spirit and the way she lived her life. Keep these memories close to your heart and she will be with you always.
Love, Jane
