To the Thompson Family, I was so very sorry to hear of Ruths passing. She was the sweetest, kindness Lady I have ever known. I loved going into the Ladys Wear Shop, everyone was so nice and I so enjoyed talking to Ruth. She will be so missed by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.

Ruth's Family,
Please except my condolences for the passing of such a lovely lady.
Visiting Ruth's store was always a joy because first we would always have a visit, then she would show us something she was sure we would love.
Every Christmas my dad did his own shopping for my mom, sister and I. Our gift was always something from Ruth's wonderful store, carefully chosen by Ruth and my dad.
It was a joy and an honour to have know her. She and her lovely smile will be missed.

I am so saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Thompson. As teenagers, my sister Suzanne and myself, worked as waitresses and the Buckeye Center snack bar. Each week we would ogle outfits in her store, and at the end of each week, we would shop. She was so helpful and patient in helping and encouraging us to choose the best new outfit or bathing suit.
I remember when she would present a fashion show at the yearly public school event. How she praised us as such wonderful models. She always made us feel so very special and important.
Memories I will always cherish.

Dad and I sat next to Bob and Ruth Sunday’s at church. Ruth made delicious butter tarts and always made a few extra for dad. He loved the butter tarts and other tasty treats she had made while sitting enjoying a cup of tea at their home. She was a very special loving and caring lady who will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family.

I met Ruth in 1976 shortly after we arrived in Canada and bought Truplwood Lodge
She was a tremendous help to me with cooking Canadian food and especially deserts.
As long as she was in the store I would drop in and we would reminisce about that first year at triplwood lodge
I wish the family much condolences

Ruth was a kind and generous person to everyone in the community. One of my fondest memories of Ruth is visiting her clothing store as a kid and, while my mom was shopping, I busied myself searching for stray straight pins which had somehow found their way down onto the carpet. I gathered up all the pins that I could find each time we visited and returned them to Ruth who always rewarded my efforts with a big smile and a shiny dime (...and to a six or seven year old little girl in the early seventies, a shiny dime was a big deal!) Our thoughts and prayers to all of your family; you will be sadly missed Mrs. Thompson. Heather and Dale Cosh

What fond memories I have of Ruth and her family. Having worked at Thompson’s Ready to Wear as a student for five years, I had a first hand view of all the wonderful ways Ruth interacted with her family, friends and community. I marvelled then at her work ethic wondering how she managed it all as she always maintained a sense of humour and showed kindness to all. The summers I worked in Bobcaygeon were some of the happiest of times. I will always remember Ruth and the great example she set for me. Such a proud legacy to leave to a family.

Bob and Ruth and their family, including Paul, are the most generous, loving, and caring people that anyone can imagine. I hold many memories of them and the memories are too over-whelming to write here. They hold a special place in Dixie’s and my heart. Bob and Ruth were with my mother attending Dixie and my wedding in 1980 at Ceres Pioneer Rock Church in Iowa. They flew in from Bobcaygeon to the wedding and completely surprised us and, then, we were invited to come to Bobcaygeon. Bob and Ruth and the Family welcomed us into their home for our honeymoon so I could show Dixie Thompson Country.
We will continue and forever to love them BOTH and their family for their generosity, hospitality and caring. Our hearts ache with pain, first, the passing of Paul and, then, Bob and, now, Ruth. God BLESS them and Our Extended Family from the North Country. John and Dixie Lee Thompson and Henry The Eighth [Our Cat] – Topeka, Kansas

So sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. Wonderful memories as a small child of the church ladies gathering in our living-room to quilt. I believe Ruth was a role model for my mom who also had many businesses on the go as she raised us. Sincerely, Cynthia (Mills) Johnston

So deeply sorry to hear about Ruth .She was such an amazing woman. I have been thinking of her because I knew that she was at pinecrest. I worked for Ruth for several years at thompsons Ladies wear. I learned so much from her about business. She was a natural when it came to business. She even took me with her on buying trips to Toronto. She was always kind and generous. I have had my own business for 32 years and I thank you Ruth for everything I learned from you. You made your mark and you will never be forgotten. My deepest sympathies to your family With heart felt sympathy Patti Thurston
