GIBBS, Ruth

Passed away peacefully with family by her side at the Lennox and Addington County Hospital in Napanee, on Monday December 11th, 2023, Ruth Joan Gibbs at age 92. Beloved wife of the late Bob Gibbs, dear mother of Christine Blain (Santo) of Bancroft; cherished grandmother to Tamra (Tom), Great- grandma to Melissa (Kelly), Ashley (Adam) and Johnny (Caley); adored great-great-grandma to Jaxson, Ella, Myla, Brady, Myles and Delilah. Loved sister of Nancy Rowe (late Reg), and special aunt to Tracey, Vicky, Laurie, Wanda, Pam, Corey and their families. Ruth will be sorely missed by her beloved Gibbs family in England. Predeceased by her parents, Keith and Gwen Mein, and her son Gary. Ruth lived a full and active life right up until her illness slowed her down in recent months. An energetic and fiercely independent woman, Ruth enjoyed golf and decorating in her younger days but nothing was more important to her than family. Ruth and Bob loved to travel, taking several trips to England to visit the Gibbs family. They eventually moved there in the early 2000s and remained there until Bob’s death in 2011, at which time Ruth returned to Canada, settling in Napanee to be near her sister and family. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the staff of the Lennox and Addington County Hospital for the outstanding care Ruth received during her stay there. “In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there.”
