There, as a young woman, Ruth worked for the Bank of Montreal in Winnipeg, later marrying Lloyd John Simpson in 1946. Lloyd and Ruth built their first home in Fort Garry and son Craig Cameron was born in 1961.

Ruth was predeceased by her husband in 1992, after which she enjoyed the association and friendship of Widows Helping Others and also the friendship of her neighbours. Ruth will always be remembered for her cheerfulness and positive attitude in the midst of numerous physical afflictions in her twilight years.

"Mickey" Stevens and his wife Lillian of Victoria; sister Lorna Lorenze of Hanover, Ontario and of course numerous friends, associates and other relatives. You've been a good mom, Mom!
