She took a non-linear career path, and worked as a high school teacher, an archivist at various locations in Ottawa and an adult ESL teacher.  She spent many happy summers with her husband on their hobby-farm in the Pontiac growing organic apples and vegetables and building a stack-wall home. After her husband passed away in 2014, she pursued her love of travel and study of Buddhism and spent a month at Kopan monastery in Nepal, attended a Buddhist retreat in Japan, and completed both the Portuguese and Spanish Caminos.

Many thanks to the staff and volunteers of the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice for their excellent care, attentiveness, and willingness to serve ice cream during the last two and half weeks of life. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice or to the Stephen Lewis Foundation in her name would be welcome. Memorial Service 6:30 p.m., Sunday June 10, First Unitarian Church, 30 Cleary Ave.
