Obituary for Ruth Alice Little Dermott (Hodgson)
Dermott, Ruth Alice Little (nee Hodgson)
On Thursday, February 3, 1921, Thomas Wharton Hodgson and Alice Mabel Little welcomed their fourth daughter, Ruth Alice Little Hodgson into the world. On Monday, January 4, 2016, her sons and loving family were with her as she departed peacefully at Headwaters Health Care Centre, Orangeville.
Ruth was the granddaughter of George Hodgson and Maria Edington, and William James Little and Hannah Twible.
Growing up on a Century farm in Amaranth, she knew what work meant, helping with the chores on the farm with her four sisters and one brother. Later, Ruth worked as a bookkeeper for a garage and would sometimes drive taxi for them and continued to do bookkeeping after her marriage in addition to being mother to four boys. Ruth and Frank raised their family on their farm in Mono Township. She was the sole subject of a book entitled “A Dufferin Girl” in honour of her 90th birthday.
Ruth is predeceased by her husband Frank Albert Wootten Dermott (1979). She is survived by her four sons and their partners – Paul and Jacqueline, Alan and Joanne, Philip and Richard, and Michael and Anne. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren – Vince Dermott (Bonnie), Steve Dermott (Hazel), Lori Dermott, Tanya Dermott-Bradley (Larry), Jennifer Dermott (Dean Guillemette), Scott Dermott, Caitlin Dermott, and nine great-grandchildren – Amber Dermott, Kendralea, and Travis Dermott, Haydyn and Kaya Parker, Hannah and Nolan Bradley, Jack and Sam Guillemette.
She is also survived by her brother Arthur Hodgson (Audrey) and sister Betty Duncan (the late Fred (2011)). Predeceased by sisters Meta Hodgson (1987), Sadie Golden (1990) (the late Jim Golden) and Della Trimble (2011) (the late Gordon Trimble (1962)).
Ruth will be affectionately remembered by her family and many (grand)nieces and (grand)nephews and friends in addition to her fellow associates at Camilla High Country United Church (formerly St. Andrew's United Church) where she was a long-time member.
A special thank you to the Dufferin County Paramedics, the doctors and nurses at Headwaters Health Care Centre and Southlake Hospital, CCAC, Red Cross, care providers and PSWs who have provided assistance to her over the past ten years. A special thank you to Carol.
Visitation will be held at the Dods & McNair Funeral Home, Chapel & Reception Centre, 21 First Street, Orangeville on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Thursday, January 7, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. Donations to Camilla High Country United Church or the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
A tree will be planted in memory of Ruth in the Dods & McNair Memorial Forest at the Island Lake Conservation Area, Orangeville. A dedication service will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.dodsandmcnair.com
