Mother, teacher, wife, comedian, disciplinarian, protector, healer, and friend are all descriptors of Ruth Dredden. A lifelong Fredericktonian, she had an extensive career as an educator and also served on many boards and community organizations. “Ruth
would give the shirt off her back while at the same time lecturing you on the improper use of a fork and knife,” according to her family. “Ruth lived her life as an example of what a spirit-filled life of service to God and her community looked like.”
