KEOGH, Ruth

Ruth May (Burgess) Keogh of Harriston passed away at Palmerston & District Hospital in her 84th year. Remembered by her daughters Catherine and Roger Waite of Ashfield, Dianna and Maurice Keels of Cambridge, Roseanne Keogh and Terry Genereaux of Cambridge, and Tracy Keogh-Pires and Kerry Rogers of Harriston.

Predeceased by her parents Alfred and Alma (Laffin) Burgess, husband Bruce Keogh, son Michael Keogh, and her sister Katherine Spalding.  Along with being a butcher, Ruth was primarily a caregiver.
