Ruth A. Nicholson

CANADA - Ruth Anne Nicholson UE, passed away due to complications of influenza on the 7th of March 2025, at the age of 74 while wintering in the South Padre Island golf community in Texas. Beloved wife of David Nicholson, devoted mother to Paul (Alicia), Jon, and Sarah, and cherished grandmother to Owen and Claire. She was predeceased by her parents, Edwin and Alta Hutchins (née Ferriss), and her sister, Mary Hutchins. She is survived by her sister, Susan Hutchins (Robert McCloskey), brother-in-law, Scott Wilkins and many extended family members.

Ruth deeply enjoyed her teaching career with the Halton District School Board for over 35 years, inspiring generations of children's love of art. Her passion for teaching extended beyond the classroom—she led summer arts programs, taught early Canadian heritage, and, in retirement, had the joy of volunteer teaching alongside her daughter, Sarah and daughter-in-law, Alicia.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Waterdown, Ontario, on the 26th of April 2025, at St. James Church.
