Peacefully at Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton at the age of 77. Devoted wife to Trevor Lewis and loving mother to Jennifer (Andrew Perrin) and Joshua (Cameron Jessup). Survived by sisters Grace (Otto) Smith, Lynn (the late John) Bellamy and Nancy (Gerry) Groen. Doting aunt of many much-loved nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Born in Hamilton to Doug and Nora Thomas. Passionate teacher in Wentworth, Halton and Peel boards. Her retirement job as a world traveler may have been her most successful. Her travels included visits to Antarctica, South America (Machu Pichu and Galapagos were her favorites), Africa including Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, India, and Europe including many visits to Trevor’s birthplace in Wales. A private family gathering will take place at Smith’s Funeral Home in Burlington. In accordance with Ruth’s wishes, a Celebration of Life will take place once pandemic restrictions permit. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, donations in Ruth’s memory to the Juravinski Hospital would appreciated.
