Obituary of Miriam Ringer

Passed way peacefully at Sunnybrook Hospital, in Toronto. Predeceased by her loving husband Paul, she leaves to grieve her passing her daughters, Leslie (Allen) Morgan, Catherine (Jon) Driver, Laura Ringer, Allison Ringer and Lee Aird Ringer. She was predeceased by her only son John in 1998. She was the proud and loving grandmother of Tim (Jess) Morgan, Simon (Katrina) Driver, Andrew Driver, Melissa Ringer, Thomas, David and John Ringer and Adriana and Sam Hawley as well as two great-grand children, Lucy Driver and Kai Morgan. Dorothy was a ground breaker, combining the love and care of her large family with a challenging career in education. Travel, volunteering with the CNIB, water aerobics at the Y and hostessing many family gatherings occupied her early retirement years. Following Paul's accident in 2002 much of her time was devoted to his care and comfort. Her final years were spent making new friends at Bradgate Arms where she was an active participant in the life of the residence. At Dorothy's request she has been cremated and no formal religious service will be held. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Davisville Avenue) from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. on Friday, May 13, 2011. Donations in Dorothy's memory to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
