Dear David, Rohan, Prue & Grant, and Bennett families, Our thoughts & prayers are with you all at this time. Ruth has left lasting legacies in all the spheres in which she was involved, and will be sadly missed by all. Her cheerful nature, zest for life & love of family are our lasting memories. Love to you all, Jim, Denise & the Burrell family.
Dear David, Rohan, Prue, Grant and families, Ray and I just loved Ruth. Always looked her very best!! So many nice memories for us from THTC beginnings and especially Ruth and David visiting us in Glasgow when Ruth fed our little boy without one complaint, such was her nature to be so comfortable in the mothering role. How nice for the family to have some of Ruth’s magnificent craft work that she was so well known for and put so much love and time into. Always greeted us with a chirpy voice and happy smile that will never be forgotten. Love to all at this sad time. Blessed to know David & Ruth’s lovely children for so long. Sue, Ray & Nicholas Lester
Sending much love and condolences to David and family on the sad passing of Ruth. Lots of fond memories of Ruth on our family trips to Swan Hill. Take strength in the wonderful memories. All our love Kylie and Brook Walford xx (nee Horsfall)
Dear Ruth - always beautiful inside and out - so many memories of Ormond Christmases and Ruth’s wonderful way with young and old, her craftwork, her love for family and friends, always taking the time to chat to her Auntie Una and Uncle Cec as they grew old. Today’s service was a celebration of a wonderful person with a rare heartfelt gift for life - much love to David, Rohan, Grant and Prue and their families from Helen, Janet and James
