I just found out that Ruth LaRochelle passed.   I knew her best from my childhood and I can say that she was one of the kindest,  most hospitable ladies I have ever known.  My father was her husband's  good friend-William Phillips and they were great golfing buddies. 
May she rest in eternal peace as I am absolutely sure she is in God's inner circle of angels.   My belated sincerest condolences to her family members.   May your memories and  her influence on your lives bring comfort to you.   Gary Phillips

My Aunt Ruth was a second Mother to me. There are so many memories I have of her.  She taught me to love God  and her Love for Canada and the Church.  Aunt Ruth never forgot a Birthday always got a card and a phone call.  So many Summers spent in Ottawa and going to the Cottage.  Fun times❤️

Ruth and Charley were always in our lives.We felt they were family.They were the last of the old gang and they were great people.We will miss them.

We used to be neighbours of the Larochelles on Riverdale Avenue.  They were wonderful neighbours.  We are saddened by Ruth's passing.  She was so kind to our children, who were young at that time.   She was a truly nice lady.

As a little boy living next door to Ruthie and Charlie in the 1950s and early 60s I vividly remember her gentle, kind and loving attention to an injured knee or a tearful confession to breaking their garage window. 
Above all she lived a Christian life and I know the best way to repay and respect her is with my prayers.
God bless her.

As Catherine said - Ruthie and Charlie were inextricably a part of our formative years growing up.  They were next door neighbours for 11 years from 1952-63 when my mother remarried and we moved to Québec.  
My earliest functional memory is "helping" Charlie wash the car on Saturday morning.  His patience was vast.  
Ruthie was an endless source of the warmest love through countless lives of bunnies, kittens and other additions to the family and through it all, loving support for our mother.
Dearly missed.

Ruth and her husband Charlie welcomed me into their home to live with them for a few months while I was settling in Ottawa. They were such a loving couple and so generous. I will always remember Ruth’s grace and faith. A beautiful soul. 

I am a registered nurse, and am retiring after a 50 year career. We always say that there are certain people that you will always remember and  Charles and Ruth  are mine. Ruth would visit  "her darling Charles" every day, he was in hospital and at St Pats bringing with her sunshine, love and wonderful treats for all the staff. She was always so kind  to everyone, and I still cherish the beautifully written cards she sent me at Christmas .
Yes, I will remember my favorite patient Charles, and his very special Ruth. My condolences to the family.

Wonderful, loving, kind and forever linked to my family history. My childhood and that of my brothers was enriched by daily accepting encouragement and affection from our beloved neighbour Ruthie. She & Charlie were a godsend to my mother. We were the luckiest and better for knowing her. Loved forever. Catherine Donnelly
