A mother of incredible and unconditional love, generosity of heart and someone who loved us with passion and forgiveness, she possessed a special style, elegance and grace that set her apart and inspired us all. Ruth was known for her generosity and hospitality, always finding the best in everyone and all that surrounded her. She always had a kind word. The last years of Ruth's life were a struggle as dementia slowly diminished her spirit. Despite this difficult challenge, she handled life as she always had &ndash; with strength and dignity. She will be remembered forever with admiration and love. A private family burial will take place at York Cemetery, North York, Ontario. In Ruth's memory, donations to The Cancer Society, or The Alzheimer Society would be appreciated. Online condolences at etouch.ca.</div>
