Ruth will be remembered as a loving sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend.

Ruth was born in King City one of seven daughters of Mervyn and Lucy Wilson. She met her best friend and husband Garnet White in 1950 at a dance at Musselman’s Lake, which culminated in a life long and loving marriage of 62 years. Ruth worked for the City of Ajax for many years and volunteered in the community.

She was an avid bridge player, gardener, and reader, and a cutthroat scrabble player. She was happiest at the cottage with her family and especially cherished time with her grandchildren. A lover of Jeopardy, salt, and weak tea, she will be dearly missed.
