Ruth Dorothy Leonard (Kilgallen)
May 25, 2018 – October 15, 1939

Ruth Dorothy Leonard passed away at the age of 78 on Friday, May 25, 2018 at Seton Agecare, a caring and loving community.

From her birth in Montreal, Quebec, on October 15, 1939 to her passing, Ruth nourished people around her with love, a fantastic sense of humor, and a zest for life. She was born to Clifford and Hilda Kilgallen, as the ninth of ten children. Ruth loved to travel from an early age and never tired of sharing stories of her many adventures, such as her experience at Woodstock or her time spent in Greece on the beach. Ruth will be remembered as a bright, shining light, who fought a courageous battle against cancer and dementia until her last breath. Ruth is survived by her siblings Cliff, Malcom, Beth, and Merle, as well as their extended families. She was predeceased by both parents and her other siblings.

Those closest to Ruth would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at the Seton Agecare Nursing Home in Calgary, specifically those in the Copperfield West unit, for their attentiveness and loving care. In the coming weeks, the family will be hosting a private Celebration of Life to honour Ruth’s wishes. To view and share photos, condolences and stories of Ruth please visit www.choicememorial.com.
