Ruth was anxiously awaiting the addition of her fourth great grandchild in October this year. Ruth is survived by her sister Mildred Simon of Sudbury, her brother Cecil & Eileen Dunlop of Chatham, by her brothers in law and sisters in law George & Jeanette Vidler, Molly Vidler and Hartley Vidler of Erieau and Mary Remington of Chatham as well as many nieces and nephews.
