Avis de décès de Ruth Harpe


HARPE, Ruth Erika (née Hermann)January 4, 1932 – July 19, 2016Ruth Harpe died peacefully in her sleep on July 19, 2016, at the age of 84. Her three children, Stefan, Michael and Marina, were all by her side over the past weeks, able to comfort her, tell her how much we love her and how grateful we are to her for giving us life, for sacrificing so much for us and for encouraging and guiding us over these many years. Born in Laichingen, a small town in southern Germany, the youngest of six children, she had a wanderlust and sense of adventure that led her to set off at a young age on a voyage on a commercial ship to Montreal, which is where she made her home, learned English and French, worked at various jobs and raised a family. She loved classical music, good food, skiing and the company of friends. She wanted the trees and bushes in her backyard to grow wild, she enjoyed listening to Saturday afternoon opera broadcasts and, later in life, enthusiastically followed soccer and tennis games on TV. Always known for her strong opinions on a wide range of topics, her interest in books and ideas, and intellectual and political debates, she found particularly meaningful her work and close friendships over many years at the Humanities Department of John Abbott College. She will be missed by her seven grandchildren Saskia, Roland, Felix, Matthew, Benjamin, Nicholas and Cian. We are grateful to the wonderful staff at Grace Dart Residence, and to Yolande, for their care and compassion. Donations can be made in Ruth''s memory to the David Suzuki Foundation (davidsuzuki.org) and you are welcome to sign our book of condolences at www.rideaumemorial.com
