Obituary of Ruth Brison

BRISON, Ruth Mary Louise, age 79, of Wentworth Road, Windsor, went home to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at the Hants Community Hospital, Windsor, surrounded by her loving family and friends. Born in Clarksville on June 7, 1935, she was the only daughter of the late John and Hattie (O'Leary) Saunders. Ruth taught school in Riverside and Cheverie, NS; then went to Mack Business College and after graduation worked in various offices such as Acadia University, Payzant Memorial Hospital, and Hants Community Hospital. Due to Ruth's passion for dogs, she started her boarding and grooming business which she ran for 30 years. She was loved by all her canine friends and made many wonderful friends with their owners. She also bred Pekingese and Toy Poodles under the Winckworth prefix and had many champion dogs. Ruth was a kind, loving, and supportive mother and grandmother who always thought of her family and friends before herself. She will be sadly missed by all those whose lives she has touched over the years.
