Haverhill – Maureen D. Ruth, 62, a lifelong resident of Haverhill, passed away peacefully at the Holy Family Hospital in Methuen after a period of declining health.
Born in Haverhill, she was the daughter of John M. “Jack” Jr. and Clodette J. (Buchika) Ruth. She attended Haverhill Public Schools and was a graduate of Haverhill High School, class of 1979.
Maureen was employed at various retail stores locally as a cashier. She later was employed as a bus driver for the City of Haverhill at the senior citizens center. That part of her career was a job she truly enjoyed; as she loved socializing with her passengers.
Maureen enjoyed food and going out to eat. She was a Red Sox fan, enjoyed word search puzzles and visiting with her parents and family in Florida.
She was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She is survived by her son, Michael J. Abbott and his wife Chrissidy, of Merrimac, MA, her loving parents John M. Ruth Jr. and his wife Clodette (Buchika) Ruth, of Florida, cherished grandson, August Christopher Abbott, siblings; Cathleen Ahern, of Marco Island, FL, John M. Ruth III, of Dracut, and Cheryl Accardi and her partner, Joseph Zember, of Sandown, NH, nieces; Kelli Accardi, Christina Accardi and Elyse Ruth. She was predeceased by her son Christopher Abbott.
Maureen’s family wish to thank the Staff at Aspen Hill Rehab for their kind, compassionate care during her stay.
