She was a lifelong friend of my mother Ruth Gordon. In joy and in sadness she was always first to my mom's side. - Posted by: Ken Gordon (Friend) on: Sep 08, 2017

When I first came to Winnipeg as a new bride knowing no one, Ruth took me under her wing and became my mentor and big sister. She introduced me to ORT where I later became president of the Winnipeg chapter. Our family was included in all their family celebrations while they were still in Winnipeg. We kept in close contact over the years after we moved to Arizona and then California. She was an amazing lady and we will miss her dearly.
