Dear Volunteers – I’m sorry to share the sad news that long time volunteer, Ruth Mallett, has passed away. Most recently, Ruth was a member of our information guide team – but she had been a Gallery volunteer for over 28 years. If you know Ruth, you know she loved patterns (and sewing) and her love of fashion was celebrated in the colourful oufits she wore weekly. No one was better accessorized than Ruth!

Ruth enjoyed sharing her scrapbooks of AGO activities over the years, leaving them out for many to view in the volunteer lounge (including her beloved community outings with the AGO-on-the-Go volunteers). We will miss Ruth, greatly and share news of services, below:

MALLETT, RUTH NORENE 1938 – 2021 It’s with great sadness that the family of Ruth Norene Mallett announces her passing, on Sunday, June 27, 2021, at the golden age of 83. Ruth will be fondly remembered by her loving family members and friends, and the cherished memories of Ruth will be greater than the sorrow and pain felt today. Ruth was well-known for her great sense of creativity, her charitable spirit of giving, quick wit, love of cooking and spending time with extended love ones, and so much more. She will be deeply missed by her many sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbours. Visitation and funeral service will be held to honour Ruth at Ogden Funeral Home, 4164 Sheppard Ave. E., on Friday, July 23rd from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday, July 24th at 1:00 p.m. for immediate family and invited guests.
