Joan, Richard, Jamie, Charles & family: My love and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. Your mom was such a lovely person and a dear friend of mine, each summer when I travelled from Ontario to Nova Scotia to meet with her at Berwick U.C. Camp (for 5 years in a row now). We chummed together there, singing in the choir, partaking in all the camp activities and sharing meals together. Often at the end of camp there was a trip out to pick berries at the nearby blueberry farm (Rainforth's), so Ruth would have them for the freezer, and for her pies and muffins. The last year in her home, she even hosted me after camp and we travelled some more. These were very special times together. This photo is one captured during one of those "lunch dates" among friends (Ruth, Barbara, Heather, Tracy). I will miss your mom dearly, that warm smile, that laugh of hers, our ice creams together, and just her friendship. May you find strength in the love, and stories shared among your family and all of Ruth's friends.

Ruth Rudderham was a fixture, as a kid, at Bridgewater United Church, in the 1970s and 80s. She always struck me as one of the nicest people I'd ever met, surrounded by some big personalities, such as hubbie, Bob ("the biggest car salesman on the South Shore"), and Jamie and Charles, who I knew through school and band. I'd see Ruth at many church and school events, always smiling, always patient. After many years, I had the chance to talk to her last Fall, at my mother's birthday celebration, and it was so nice to see that smile again. Rest in peace, Mrs. Rudderham, and thanks for all of the lives you touched.
