Obituary for Ruth Lulu LITTLE (Doering)
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ruth Lulu (Doering) Little, age 83, in the comfort of her home in Ingersoll on Wednesday January 6, 2021. Ruth was born on the family farm in Wilmot Township, daughter of the late Alma (Hohl) and Nelson Doering. She was raised in a large, loving family who enjoyed singing and playing piano. Always the hardworking and enthusiastic student, she went on to graduate from St. Mary’s Nursing College. On November 8, 1958 she married C.A. Stuart Little and they recently celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary. Ruth worked as a nurse at the Oxford Regional Nursing Home in Ingersoll for 19 years, retiring in 1994. Her faith in God brought her comfort and strength from an early age. Ruth was a long-time member of St. James Anglican Church in Ingersoll.
Ruth truly loved her family, the time spent together on her parent’s farm, at Doering family reunions and loved summers surrounded by her family at their Kenogami Lake cottage. She was a constant source of love and support to her daughters Anne Marie (Tim) Pauli, Nancy (Pat) Johnston and Susan (Brad) Lake. Devoted grandmother to Sarah Johnston (Mike Korevaar), David Johnston (Melissa McIntyre), Nick Pauli, Alex Lake, Jordan Lake (Lindsay Donovan), and all the grand pets.
