Hutchinson, Ruth Constance – age 93, passed away on February 1, 2023, in Braeside Home for Special Care, Middle Musquodoboit.
Ruth was the youngest daughter of the late Arthur John Hankey and Mary Olivia (Webber) Hankey.
Ruth was raised in Sackville, and went on to attend Normal College followed by an 18- year teaching career. She married Donald Hutchinson and moved to Upper Musquodoboit where she taught school. In retirement, Ruth spent the last 20 years of her life living in Truro. She was dedicated to her family, students, and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. While living in Upper Musquodoboit, Ruth enjoyed tending to her vegetable garden, making preserves, and walking through the fields. In her later life in Truro, she was always up for a game of Scrabble and loved to read. Ruth was a proud member of the UCW, and will be remembered as a peaceful, happy and kind-hearted person.
Surviving are her son, Glen (Viola); granddaughters, Tiffany and Shanda who all reside in Alberta.
Ruth was predeceased by her husband, Donald; son, Edward; sisters, Marion, Jean and Muriel.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit. Burial will be held at a later date in Hillcrest Cemetery.
Special thanks to Lydia Fox, Kaye Dean, Judy Burgess and Janice Lemmon who helped Ruth in so many ways, allowing her to stay in her home as long as she did.
Ruth was always thankful for the care given to her by the VON and the staff of Braeside. Donations in her memory to the VON or Musquodoboit Valley Health Foundation – Braeside would be greatly appreciated.
