Ruth was from the Durst family, Benmiller, Ontario. She married Jack in 1939 and they farmed one concession north of Auburn for 50 years where they raised their 8 children. Ruth won the hearts of all who came to know her. A private family interment will be held at a later date. In memory of Ruth, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
