Ruth Carr

August 26, 1934 – October 15, 2012

      Ruth Carr, born in New York City, lived in Dallas, TX and Pagosa Springs, CO, before moving to Bainbridge Island with her husband, Howard, in 2003.

      They embraced the island, learning its nooks and by-ways through Ron Williamson’s, “Discover Bainbridge” walks with the Parks & Recreation, and later with the “Walking Group,” an offshoot of the official group. Water color classes with Beth Moga, also through Parks & Recreation, led to another group of best friends that became Water & Wednesday, which continues to paint and show. The neighborhood purchase and establishment of Cedar Lane Park led to a shellfish garden with the help of the Puget Sound Restoration Fund and a love of the beach, and the tides and waters that surround our island.

      Ruth leaves behind her husband, Howard, daughters Lindsay and Patricia. Their son, Henry, predeceased her.
