Bantam- Ruth Clark, 66, passed away at home after a courageous battle with a long illness. The world will never be the same without her unforgettable smile and warm heart.

Born April 2, 1960, she was the daughter of the late John E. Cark and Eunice (Hoff) Clark of Woodbury. Ruth worked as a payroll officer for the State of Connecticut for nearly 30 years.

Ruth spent her free time making happy memories with loved ones or getting lost in a good book.

She will be deeply missed by her longtime partner Gary Thorne, their daughter Amber Clark and their grandson Elliot. She also leaves behind a sister Carrie, brother John, stepdaughter Shauna and her daughter Skylar, and stepdaughter Nicole and her children Aiden and Sarah.

A private service will be held by the family at a later date. To leave an online condolence, please visit munsonloveterefuneral home.com.
