Moore, Ruth Elinor (nee Robertson) March 3, 1920 ~ November 24, 2013 A life of ninety-three years defined by a sixty-eight year marriage, a spirit of independence, a zest for life, still driving her car and managing her affairs. Ruth grew up in the Toronto Beaches experiencing the 30’s and on through the war years as a military bride. Her husband George (1917 – 2007) was overseas and they would later return to Paris, France at S.H.A.P.E. Headquarters in the ebullient 50’s where they shared the post-war challenges and excitement of building a modern era alongside their American counter-parts. They settled back in Canada in Ottawa plus the Perth area lake country and finally in Perth itself. Life was a celebration, a hard work ethic with humour and a conservative take on politics well cured by life’s experiences. Still reading, still laughing, still a class act to the last, her spirit lives on. Ruth was a devoted Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother to her three girls Judy (Ken), Meredith (Dave) and Kingsley Ruth. A service and interment will take place at the National Military Cemetery, Beechwood, Ottawa, Ontario Saturday December 21st, 2013 at 10:30 A.M. with a celebration of her life to follow. As the Christmas Season approaches, donations in memory of Ruth to the Salvation Army would be appreciated. Arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Directors, 15 Gore St. West, Perth, Ontario.
