Ruth was a true trailblazer of her time. She was a dedicated hard worker, being the first full-time female physician in Windsor, Ont., practising for 53 years. She specialized in pediatrics and cosmetics. She was a proud entrepreneur, creating her own business, Cygnus Clinic. She was the head of the board of ethics and credentials.
Ruth was known for her sharp mind and playful wit. She will be known for setting many milestones, including being the first practising physician while pregnant. She will always be remembered by the many families she helped.
In honour of Ruth, memorial donations would be greatly appreciated to Hospice of Windsor and Essex County. Online condolences and cherished memories may be shared at Windsor Chapel Funeral Home.
