  • Notes 
    • Dare, Ruth Eleanor - Ruth Eleanor Dare (nee Rotters), born Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, 1918, died November 28, 2003 at age 85, at Columbia Forest Long Term Care Centre, Waterloo. She suffered a hemorrhaging stroke in June 2002 after enjoying her 60th wedding anniversary with all her children and grandchildren in attendance. She was a member of St. Peters Lutheran Church, Kitchener, Westmount Curling Club, Probus Club, a long term member of the K-W YWCA, a founding member of the KW-Gyrette Club, a long term volunteer member of the K-W Art Gallery and the K-W Symphony and worked for the Canadian Blind Institute. She was also an ardent swimmer and canoeist during her Muskoka summers. Ruth was the much loved mother of Carolyn Wilfred (Harmon) of Christchurch, New Zealand, Graham (Sandra) of Kitchener and Bryan (Malkin) of Waterloo. In addition she is survived by her loving husband Carl and her grandchildren Tanya Leverette, Carla Woolnough (Scott), Sydney, Jacob, Kaitlin, Alexa, Katherine and Laurence Dare. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, 49 Queen Street North, Kitchener at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, December 2, 2003 (today). Flowers are gratefully declined but a donation in Ruth's memory to the charity of your choice would be appreciated. We know that like a candle Her lovely light must shine To brighten up another place More perfect - more divine And in the realm of Heaven Where she shines so warm and bright Our loved one lives forever In God's Eternal Light.
