We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ruth. Ruth brought warmth, clarity, and humour to every role she held. Her sharp wit and joyful presence were as memorable as her commitment to education and her community. On behalf of all of us at Walesby C of E Primary School, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Ruth’s family, her friends, school community and all who had the privilege of working with her. She will be remembered not only as a dedicated leader, but also as someone who lifted spirits and brought laughter into even the busiest days. She leaves behind a legacy that will not be forgotten.
