Ruth C. Spence
1946-2020
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of
Ruth Carlyle Spence, age 73, of Port
Howe, NS. Ruth passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 10, 2020 with her
husband by her side, at the Cumberland Regional Health Care
Centre.
Born in Springhill, NS, she was a daughter of the late Bud
and Gertrude (Nicholson) Boran.
Ruth was a dedicated wife of 51 years and loving mother to
her three boys. After graduating Nursing, she worked in the heart
clinic in Saint John, NB., then in Ottawa, returning to the QE2 in
Halifax where she worked in the heart unit and then for Cobequid
Nursing in Lower Sackville and finally Emergency Nursing at the
Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre until her retirement. The love
of her life was her family and her home at the beach. Cross-stitching
was a passion of hers, as well as Curling in Pugwash.
She will be dearly missed by her husband Bill, Port Howe; 3
sons, Billy (Simone), Hammonds Plains, NS, Michael (Celina), Truro, NS
and Jamie (Suzannah), Hammonds Plains, NS; 8 grandchildren, Kyle,
Abbey, Elle, Levi, Graydon, Hudson, Katie, and Sara; and brother Tom
Boran, Pugwash, NS.

in law Debbie Boran.
Arrangements have been entrusted to A.H. Brown
