Ruth Marguerite MANNING

TRENHOLM, Ruth Marguerite. Passed away on June 28, 2007 surrounded by her loving children. Born in Amherst, N.S. she was a daughter of the late Wylie and Nell Manning. A proud alumna of Acadia University she held the position of life secretary for her class of 1940. A resident of The Town of Mount Royal, Montreal for fifty-six years, she was very active at the Mount Royal United Church, and the Mount Royal Curling Club. Recently she relocated her residence to Oakville, Ont. Ruth is survived by her sister Joyce Brooks; her children, Linda Boston (David) Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Ted (Gail) Oakville, Ontario, Anne (Clemente) Montreal, Karen Linker, (Steve) Toronto, twelve grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband William, daughter Joyce and brother Ralph Manning. Ruth loved life. Her passion for family, community, church and friends never wavered throughout her eighty-eight years and her love for her hometown kept her returning to the shores of Tidnish beach every summer. A memorial service/celebration of her life will be held in her honor in Nova Scotia on August 11, 2007 at the Lorneville United Church 1:30 p.m. She will be missed and remembered by her family as a caring, compassionate and loving mother and grandmother. Forever in our hearts. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Email condolences may be sent through www.koprivataylor.com Published in the Montreal Gazette on 7/5/2007
