Ruth Marie Roff

We first met Ruth through Tom when he and I worked together in the mid 80's. We would often visit their beautiful home in Oakville where Ruth was the 'Martha Stewart' of her time. She became an inspiration to me in the way she kept her gorgeous home and the family she so celebrated and cherished. As we got to know Ruth over the years , the fashion and decorating were just one dimension of this lovely person. She was so much more ! She became someone we adored because of her positive and caring nature. As a friend she was the cheerleader who always encouraged you to follow your dreams and goals. When we heard of her passing we were all planning an annual get together with the 'Kayser gang' before she went back to B.C. We were so taken back by the sudden news! Ruth has left such a void as a positive, kind and caring friend. She was never judgmental and so full of love. We will miss her friendship and laughter. She was uniquely one of a kind...." a gem among rocks, a light in the darkness, a song in the quiet ". She radiated so much warmth, happiness and love. Ruth we adored you. You will forever be in our hearts and memories. We send our deepest condolences to Tom, Ian, Allison & their families. Our hearts, thoughts and support are with you today and always. Love Barbara , Gabriel & Family. xoxo

I was so shocked to get the news of Ruth's passing. She was a wonderful lady and I know she will be missed! We had many a wonderful conversations😢. My heartfelt prayers are with her family and friends.

Ian and family. So sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. We were out of town and didn't see the obituary until tonight. May all your memories comfort you at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a wonderful friend and loved her family dearly. She was always emotionally torn between London and Abbotsford, calling both places "home". My life has been enriched by knowing her, and I extend my condolences to the family she left behind. My prayers are with you.

Ruth was such a kind and generous person who lit up a room with her engaging smile and laughter. My condolences to all the family.

Ian so sorry to read about your Mother's passing. Condolences to all the family.

Ian, Kristie and family, our deepest condolences to you all. Please know you are in our prayers and may God bless you with peace and love and cherished memories in all the days to come.

It is still unbelievable that I have lost my best friend, my soul sister. Ruthie was like no other a true genuine, loving lady who had such an impact on everyone who had the honor to know her. The love for her family was undeniably evident. Ruthie will walk beside me every day, I miss her with all my heart. Tom, Aly, Ian thank you for sharing this extraordinary lady with me

I am completely saddened by the loss of my dear friend Ruth. I am glad that she was with family at her passing. I'd teased her often about going back home to be near all her grand children, family and friends! Please accept my heartfelt condolences for this sad loss. She was a terrific colleague and I respected her so much. She will be missed and not forgotten. If there's anything I can do please reach out to me. God bless you all.

Ruth came into my life in 2014 when she became my mentor while working for Granite Claims. She taught me everything with much patience. We became good friends and I so much enjoyed her company at work and away from work. She will be very much missed. She loved her family so very much. My deepest condolences to everyone. My prayers and thoughts are with you during these very difficult days.

We will really miss Ruth. She was a wonderful person. We have many fond memories of her.

So sorry to hear of this lovely lady. Sending healing hugs and prayers to each and everyone. Memories help you smile through your tears.
