Obituary of Ruth-F. Smith


Ruth F. Smith, 81 SHAPLEIGH & DOVER, N.H. -- Ruth Frances Smith, 81, formerly of Shapleigh, and most recently of Dover, N.H., died on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010, in Portsmouth, N.H. Ruth was born in Boston, Mass., on May 29, 1929. She was the daughter of the late Edwin and Winifred (Doe) Smith. Ruth was a graduate of Watertown High School in Watertown, Mass., and worked for many years at the Boston Y.W.C.A. Ruth also worked for several years at the Sanford Town Hall. Ruth enjoyed the simple things in life. She loved music, and especially enjoyed playing the organ. She liked to work with ceramics, and sew, and was a talented cake decorator, often making cakes for family gatherings, birthdays, and the holidays. She loved her time spent at the family home on Square Pond simply relaxing with the call of the loons. While spending time in Shapleigh, Ruth was an active member of the Square Pond Lake Association, and the Shapleigh Rescue. Predeceasing Ruth were a sister, Jean (Smith) Pike of Shapleigh, in 2008, and a brother Robert 'Bob' Smith of Kittery, in 2010. Surviving are her nephews, Jason Smith and his wife Jennifer of Stoneham, Mass., and Andrew Smith of Peabody, Mass.; and many dear friends. A period of visitation for the Smith family will be held this Saturday, Dec. 4, 2010, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at J.S. Pelkey Funeral Home, 125 Old Post Rd., Kittery; where a funeral service will be held following visitation at 12:30 p.m., with the Rev. Brad Hirst officiating. Burial will take place at Highland Grove Cemetery in Shapleigh. In lieu of flowers, the Smith family suggests memorials be made in Ruth's name to the Square Pond Improvement Association, or the Boston YWCA.
