Ruby THOMAS Obituary

Published by Ottawa Citizen on Mar. 15, 2017.
THOMAS, Ruby Yvonne (nee Rogers)
At peace at last at Broadview Long Term Nursing Care in Smiths Falls on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at the age of 82. Yvonne was the cherished wife of the late Gordon Thomas, treasured mother of Colleen (Barry) Gander, Stephen Thomas, Carol Thomas and the late Gordon and the late Donald Thomas. Nana to Priska, Arno, Leon, Corey, Paul, Anica and Trevor. She was the daughter of the late William and the late Ruby Rogers, sister of the late William Rogers (late Pauline), the late Robert Rogers and sister in law June, the late Harvey Rogers and late Grace, the late Paul and sister in law Karen. Yvonne will be remembered for her service of others; her volunteer work in her children's schools as they grew, her work with the Eastern Star and Rainbow Girls, countless hours washing dishes and sandwich making for her church. Her love of handcrafting and careful stitching will be passed along to the next generations. Services will be held at the Blair & Son Funeral Home Smiths Falls in the spring. In memory of Yvonne donations to the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County would be appreciated.

Rest in peace Aunt Yvonne! Your struggles and challenges have been difficult these past few years, especially since losing your lifelong partner, your beloved Gord! Hope you two are together somewhere enjoying a fabulous glass of wine and laughing as you recall the precious times you spent with each other and with family and loved ones. You are now at peace, Love always, your niece Deb Thomas

I am so saddened to hear this. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were always such good friends to my parents. Now they are all together again. My sincere condolences, Mrs. Thomas will be remembered as a beautiful lady who had the most generous spirit.
