Ruth was one of a kind. She always put a smile on my face. She would drop into barbershop with a funny story.
May you RIP

To Ruths family so sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a friendly person and knew both my mom and brother from Blyth. I ran into her a few times out and about in Goderich and then had great chats with her first at Harbour Hills and then at Maitland Manor. She was a lovely lady and always inquired about my mom and my family. The last time I saw her which was on Friday she came to Prayer and Share at the Manor. She always told me how lucky she was to have her children and how special they all were. RIP Ruth and take that rest you so deserve. Bye my friend. Connie

It is hard to put into words about my thoughts of aunt Ruth. She was so special to me and helped fill the void when I lost my mom at such a young age. We had so many great times together with lots of stories and laughter. (Which we all know she could tell lots of stories). I will miss you dearly and forever hold you close to my heart.❤️ RIP Aunty Ruth

I have many fond memories of “Grandma Beattie” and the hours spent at Ruth and Chester’s house as a teenager. She had a kind and generous spirit that we all responded to, and we loved her like she was our own grandmother. I’m sorry for the loss for the family. She was dearly loved and will be deeply missed.
