Avis de décès de Mary Ruth WILLISON
Surrounded by the love of family and friends, Ruth passed peacefully on June 27. Heartbroken by her sudden loss are her cherished daughter Sara who made Ruth so very proud, her sisters Marg (Bill), Joan (Mark), and her beloved niece, Emily Gibbs. Ruth is also survived by her cousins Dawn and Anne McNevin of Cape Breton, N.S., and Judy Antonucci of Boston, Mass. Predeceased by her parents, Ken and Portia, and brother-in-law, Brian Gibbs. Ruth was born in Kingston, graduated from Queen’s and spent her teaching career in Ottawa at Colonel By. In retirement, Ruth enjoyed being involved with Sara and their large group of friends who share such a very special bond. She volunteered for The May Court Club, The Bargin Box, and Hospice and was a member of other organizations. Ruth was a special woman who traveled the world before her world was made complete by Sara. Together they made our world. She brought much joy to her family and friends. She was loved and she will be missed. Please join Ruth’s family to celebrate her life Friday, July 6, 2018 at Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, (280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa) from 1 à 4pm. Words of Remembrance at 2 pm.
