After the war she and her husband Bill moved to Toronto where they started several successful small businesses. Ruth began teaching again in 1961 for the then Borough of York Board of Education where she taught for 30 years.

She loved to cook and entertain friends. She especially loved travel, singing, dancing and music and had no greater pleasure than to hear her grandsons sing and play the guitar. In her retirement years she traveled the world with her dear friend Ruth Bolt visiting many exotic destinations and making friends wherever she went. Her kind and giving heart, easy laugh and her willingness to love everyone she met made her a wonderful friend to many.Cremation has taken place at French Family Funeral Home & Crematorium and a Celebration of Ruth’s Life will be held on Sunday, March 20th at Extendicare, Kirkland Lake at 2:00 p.m. Another Celebration of Ruth’s Life will be held on Sunday, April 3rd at Rod Abrams Funeral Home (1666 Tottenham Rd.

To Lynda and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always treasure the fondest memory of hearing Margaret’s gentle voice reading to your mom in hospital, such a dedicated and loving granddaughter. Big hugs from me to you.

My condolences Ruth on the passing of your mother ~ her love of teaching and children is something that you so obviously inherited. I remember when I met her a few years ago that I thought of her as spunky and full of life. God Bless

Ruth Senior was indeed a force to be reckoned with. I got to know her later in life and always admired her independence. Her Influence on the character, values and career path of Ruth Junior is reflected in the lovely obituary. My sincere condolences to the whole family for your loss. Your efforts in the final years of your mother’s life were as she had raised you. Well done. Karin
