Ruth Noseworthy Green

It is with the  heaviest of  hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear wife, mother, and grandmother, Ruth Noseworthy Green, on September 16, 2023. Surrounded by her husband, Gary, and her children Jonathan, Jennifer, and Aaron. Ruth also leaves to mourn a large circle of family and friends.

Ruth had many accomplishments in various roles over the course of her life.  However, she always felt her most  important roles were that of mother, grandmother and wife.  She was exceptionally devoted to her family and always made them her priority.  We were so fortunate to have such an amazing woman behind us every step of the way.  

Ruth had many passions and was a strong advocate for the causes she believed in. She volunteered her time and talents freely to help those in need and was part of many community organizations and projects.  Among the activities she felt were the most important were her Christmas visits as Mrs. Claus to children, seniors, and especially patients in the Palliative Care Unit.

Ruth was a talented mat maker and her hooked mats captured Newfoundland and Labrador past and present especially as it related to her connections to places throughout the Province. She was a member of the music/mummers troupe “The Mummers and Paupers” since it’s inception and performed for the Christmas Wassail, Mummers Festival and other public and private events. She was so proud to be a part of the folk arts community.

A special thank you to her medical care team including Doctors Dwyer, Butler, Genge, Aseer and Pratt; the nurses and all the support staff of Seven East at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital and the Dr. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre.

Cremation has already taken place.  A celebration of Ruth’s life will be held at a date to be announced later.
