Ruth GORDON Obituary

GORDON, Ruth Naomi:
Known by all as Ruthi, particularly her four precious grandchildren Brodie, Brooke, Mia and Daisy. Passed away peacefully at home on February 6, 2023 with her loving husband Billy at her side. Doting mother to Zoe and Piers, spending countless hours on the sidelines for support, the phone for advice and the kitchen to keep them fed. Forever in our hearts with a glass of chardy and a sharp piece of wit ready to go. Ruthi was always the greatest host and we will all do her proud with a celebration in The Ponatahi in the next fortnight with date TBC.

With a permanent air of positivity, a love of chardonnay and a quick wit Ruthi was so welcoming and such great fun to be around. We retain fond memories of our times together with Ruthi and family in Christchurch and then in Wellington. Our thoughts are with Bill, Zoe, Piers and the family at this time. It has been an absolute privilege to have Ruthi as a friend.
Sincere condolences

Dear Bill and Family -
A wonderfully talented, generous wife and mother is lost! My heartfelt sympathy to you all as you go through these un-savoury steps now and then reconcile to life without her.
Kindest regards - Jay

Heartfelt thoughts to Ruth´s family. Taken far too soon. I went through from Ilam kindi to Form 7 Burnside High with Ruth. I remember a strong young woman who was enthusiastic, gregarious and incredibly capable. Wendy

Ruthi was such a great friend in the old Christchurch days. Could drink the boys under the table. Will leave a big hole in the lives of many. Our thoughts are with you Bill and the family. Do Ruthi proud in the days ahead. Sincere condolences Ray and Jenny Swadel.
