It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the friends of Ruth Roy announce her sudden passing, on Saturday November 11, 2017. Ruth was born is Quebec to Monique Guerrette and Doria Roy in a year she chose not to disclose. She came to Newfoundland to attend MUN where she received a degree in both Arts and Education. MUN was a place near and dear to Ruth's heart. She spent many hours expanding her learning and education long after graduation. Ruth will be lovingly remembered in Newfoundland by her best friends Madonna McGrath and Madonna's daughter Maggie, and Marianna Hernandez. Countless staff and students at Memorial University she befriended over the years grieve her loss, particularly international students, and those from Labrador. Her positive and loving impact in that ever-green group of young men and women was infinite. She will also be missed by numerous adult learners whom she taught her beloved French language as well as those in the French speaking community. Ruth did everything with love and has a strong faith in God. She gave more than she has. She saw goodness and offered kindness. She possessed an innate curiosity for life that connected her with people. She died doing what she loved, exploring her Newfoundland. A service in memory of Ruth will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2017 at 3 pm at the Faith Bible Chapel, 43 Kenmount Road and also on December 3, 2017 at 2 pm at Ecole des Grands-Vents, 65 Ridge Road. She laid to rest in a family plot in Quebec next to her mother. To honour her generosity, those who so desire may bring a food item for the Food Bank at MUN or make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Newfoundland.
