Ruth M. Teague of Hanson passed away at Brockton Hospital on Friday, February 13th, 2026, at the age of 83 after a brief illness.  She was born February 26, 1942.  She spent her early years in Weymouth and moved to Hanson in 1973, where she has lived since.

Ruth and Donald enjoyed traveling around the country camping in their travel trailer.  For many years they could be found every weekend at their favorite campground in Rochester, MA, with the occasional winter camping trip to Scusset Beach in Sagamore, MA.

She was predeceased by her husband of 46 years, Donald C. Teague.  She is survived by her daughter Lynn Landes and her husband Jeffrey of Melrose, MA; her son Donald Teague and his wife Rebecca of Hanson, MA; and her son Richard and his wife Dora of Whitman, MA; as well as eight grandchildren, a grand-dog, and her dear friend, Tanya Cooke of Weymouth, MA.  She is also survived by her brother Kenneth Perry and his wife Elena of Jacksonville, FL; and her brother Henry “Butch” Perry and his wife Isabelle of SC.
