Ruth Chamberlain (6 Oct 1935 - 3 Nov 2021)
Funeral Director
In loving memory of Ruth Chamberlain (nee Martin) who sadly passed away on 3rd November 2021
Ruth was born in Oldham, Lancashire. After leaving school she trained as a Nursery Nurse before starting her nursing training at Nottingham City hospital in the 1950s.
She married Kenneth on the 24th November 1956 at St Martin’s Church in Bilborough. A year later their first child Ken was born. Their second child Barry was born in 1960.
After qualifying Ruth worked for a short time at the City Hospital then moved to the Nottingham Women’s Hospital on Peel Street where latterly she ran the Theatre Dept. In 1981 when the Women’s Hospital closed she moved to the QMC and was senior Nursing Officer. After a long nursing career, being devoted to her role, Ruth took early retirement in 1993. Kenneth retired too and they had many happy years together enjoying life.
In 2015 Ruth was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and the last 3 years of her life have been extremely challenging for Kenneth who has cared for Ruth at home. She died very peacefully, is free from torment and will be missed very much by Kenneth and the the whole of her family.
