Ruth Sherman
Activities DirectorRuth has been working with the geriatric population for over 20 years. In 1987 Ruth obtained her Bachelors Degree from Saint Thomas University in New Brunswick, Canada. Ruth majored in Psychology with a special focus in Gerontology. Working in this field is very sentimental to Ruth; Her Aunt was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and she witnessed what she had to go through and how difficult it was not only for her Aunt but everyone around her. Ruth loves music, crafts, bingo, and cooking which makes her an excellent fit for our facility as the Activities Director.
