Ruth May Aho passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family on Sunday, February 7, 2016 after fighting a long battle with breast cancer. Her faith and incredible strength was inspiring to all.

Ruth was born in Marlborough on June 30, 1963 to the late William J. Pugsley and Lillian (Sykes) Pugsley. She was a devoted mother who was passionate about raising her three daughters. She was a kind and gentle soul who accepted everyone with love and open arms. Ruth enjoyed painting, being by the ocean, and dancing with laughter and smiles. She leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her caring daughters, Tara Aho of Grafton, Megan Aho of Northborough, and Danaca (Aho) Valbrun of Virginia. Her greatest joy of all was her grandchildren, Liliana, Nahjae, Niko, Caleb, and Landen. She also leaves her sisters, Eleanor (Pugsley) Burnett, Elizabeth Pugsley and her brothers Edwin Pugsley, William Pugsley Jr. and the late Herbert Pugsley and Grace Pugsley.

There will be a memorial and a celebration of Ruth's life on March 20, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. in Liberty Church, 495 Hartford Turnpike, Shrewsbury, MA.
