Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

  • We are so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was one of the first people who befriended us when we moved to Matlock back in 2007, as she was so involved in community events. She helped organize and assist with many community events while she lived in Matlock. Condolences to Martin and her family. - Posted by: Doreen and Reg Pendgracs (friends) on: Feb 16, 2017

  • I met Ruth several years ago when I joined the Quarry Quties, a Red Hat Ladies group, in Stonewall. She was also a member of the SI 55 Plus, and part of our Book Club for a time. She was a soft spoken, friendly and kind lady, with a great sense of humour, who I enjoyed spending time with. Please accept my condolences to your family on your loss. - Posted by: Verna Kakowchyk (friend) on: Feb 15, 2017
