RUTH JANET HARRIS

June 27, 1952 - November 13, 2025

Ruth passed away peacefully, in her sleep, on Thursday November 13, 2025, after a hard-fought battle with dementia.

Ruth was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on June 27, 1952, the third and youngest daughter of Les and Bonnie Harris. Growing up in St. James with her two older sisters, she loved nothing more than playing paper dolls and house with Sydney and Susan.

Thanks to the staff at Deer Lodge on Tower 3 for their loving care for Ruth.

Cremation has taken place and there will be no service.

Ruth will be laid to rest in Brookside Cemetery with her mum, dad, and sister Sydney. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations can be made to Alzheimer’s Society or Siloam Mission.

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • Ruth was a deeply caring, thoughtful and giving woman. I met and got to know her at Elim Chapel. We were a part of a small team who worked in youth ministries at Elim Chapel. The young people who knew her loved her and knew that she cared deeply about them. She was full of energy and fun but at the same time could speak with wisdom. Her devotionals were a blend of sharing aspects of her own life along with well crafted God centered talks. Ruth was a friend who could converse in depth about many things. She would readily discuss important spiritual truths and wrestle with the issues we all face in this journey through life. She was special. I am thankful that she is now in heaven with her Lord and Savior and has been fully restored. - Posted by: Elvy Pierce (Friend) on: Nov 17, 2025

When we attended Elim Chape., she told my boys to call her, "My beautiful cousin Ruth" I will never forget that.Sorry to hear that she had dementia. Susan I am sure you have struggled with Ruth over the last few years. It can't be easy to be the last one in your family.My Mum is still alive at age 95 but she also has dementia.

  • Ruth was one of my favorite supervisors. She was always laughing at me for dumb things I told her or stuff I did. Ruth made our section a lot of fun, she was a great supervisor and a really good friend by the time we were all moving on in our careers. I am so blessed to have known her. To Ruth’s family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Cindy Wright (Former coworker) on: Nov 15, 2025
