We are sad to announce the passing of Mary Ruth Cooper. We take comfort in knowing she is at peace in the hands of God. She passed away peacefully at Extendicare York on Monday, April 4, at 93 years of age.
She has spent many years battling dementia and she is now free. Ruth is predeceased by her parents, Daniel and Mary Cooper, and her brothers Donald, Vincent, and Gerald, and his sister Betty McCarthy.
Ruth settled in Sudbury as a young woman and owned her own hair salon until she had no choice but to retire after an unfortunate car accident. She will be remembered for being fiercely independent, her impeccable style, beautiful sewing, delicious butter tarts and peanut butter cookies, and the love she showed to all her many nieces and nephews. She loved visits from all of our babies, and even our cats and dogs.
The family would like to thank all the staff at Extendicare York for their endless care and support. Special thanks to Carole and Louise.
