THOMPSON REED, Ruth

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Ruth Reed peacefully on March 31, 2019 at the CHUS in Sherbrooke.

Ruth leaves to mourn her daughter, Anne, and grandson Kane Reed-Andreev, in addition to many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was pre-deceased by her loving husband Réginald, as well as her sisters Fern, Gloria and Editha.

Ruth was an upstanding member of her community, touching many lives during her 38 years as an education professional. She was active in the church, and championed every charity drive. Even into her last years, she acted as cashier for the church bazaar and rummage sale. She was one of the first on every call tree.

Ruth spent 3 wonderful years at the Manoir St. Francis, where she enjoyed friendship, activities and the New Year’s Eve parties!

We wish to thank Doris Cunnington, dear friend and loyal caregiver, who was with Ruth daily and truly became a member of the family. To Jane Gauvin, who willingly filled in so that Ruth always had someone with her.

We extend our gratitude to the wonderful staff at the CHUS for the care and respect extended to Ruth and myself, and to Dr. Laplante, her physician of many years who never failed to respond and visit.

A visitation will be held on Friday, April 12, 2019 at Cass Funeral Home, 3006 College St. Sherbrooke (Lennoxville), from 2 PM to 4 PM. On Saturday, April 13, 2019, we will be starting at 1PM. with a Meet and Greet at St. George’s Church, 84 Queen St. Sherbrooke (Lennoxville) followed by a service at 2PM, and a late lunch in the church hall at 3PM. The burial will be held at a later date.

We welcome all friends and relatives to this Celebration of Life and look forward to seeing you there.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to St. George’s Church, or your favorite charity.

She taught my mother grade 2 and then taught me grade 2. I have found memories of her that I will never forget and continue to cherish. She was one of the teachers I will never forget!!

My deepest sympathy to each of you in the great loss of your loved one.

I will always remember her as one of the best and most respected teachers that we had
in Lennoxville High School; always having time to spend with each of us.

She will never be forgotten for her kindness to all and for that beautiful smile whenever
we were so fortunate to meet her.

May knowing how much she was loved by all be of some comfort to each of you in the
days, weeks, and months to come. Many prayers go your way to help ease your sorrow.
