April 4, 1928 - January 15, 2022
Ruth passed away peacefully on January 15th, in Tweed, Ontario after a long and adventurous life. Born and raised in Toronto, she worked hard and supported herself working for Bell Canada before marrying Robert Fulthorpe and joining him on his global travels. As a couple they moved to England (twice!), Belgrade and Moscow before settling in Manotick, Ontario. After Bob's passing, she joined beloved son Billy in Calgary, Alberta where he was living with grandsons Alex, Andrew, Liam, Mitchell and later Wyatt, joined on holidays by grandson Adam and granddaughter Anastasia, for a little cattle ranching. On Bill's tragic passing she returned to Toronto where she lived in her old neighborhood, but made new memories, near her daughter Roberta, for over 12 years. In 2020 Ruth made the transition to LTC. Ruth will be remembered for her patience and passion, her artwork and love for history and fashion, her teamwork when curling, the parties she would host - and at them - her dancing, her laugh and her numerous stories. She leaves great grandchildren Josh, Brody, Hamilton and Gwen to be told those stories to. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Toronto/online for family and friends.
