My deepest condolences to David and the family of Ruth . Ruth the sweetest person to everyone that knew her. She was so very kind and caring and had the biggest heart. I have so many wonderful memories of Ruth, from when we first met in 1978 at Rodney Sea cadet unit. She was a volunteer from the Army reserves and later she enrolled in the CIL. Many many years as an Officer and mentor to cadets and young officers. HMCS Acadia was her second home every summer. Arriving with her large trunk full of her crafting items and the famous skeleton she would use as a teaching aid for first aid .Ruth ,also known as Nanny Wade would make Christmas Gifts in July and place them on the bunks at HMCS Acadia . She would also have gifts for all the cadets and Staff at our units Christmas Mess dinners. That was always a highlight to Cadets and staff . I still have quite a few of her decorations she gave me over the years .Ruth served at 9 Rodney, 268 Bras d'Or, 311 Halifax, 140 Peninsula Army cadets and Sussex Army Cadets. She will be missed. Rest in Peace Ruth we have the watch .
