Ruth (Ganz) Fitch
Ruth (Ganz) Fitch, 58, of Woods Way, New Fairfield, devoted wife of John W. Fitch, died at Danbury Hospital on Wednesday, May 31, 2006, after a brief illness.

She was born in Bennington, Vt., on May 14, 1948, daughter of the late Paul and Eula (Manes) Ganz.

Ruth was a loving mother who joyfully dedicated herself to her husband and children. She was a sweet and caring person who was known for her gentle nature and willingness to give of herself.

She was a past member of the New Fairfield Athletic Booster Club.

In addition to her husband of 34 years, John, she will be sadly missed by her son, Peter J. Fitch, of Brookline, Mass.; her daughter, Kate F. Caron, and her husband, David, of West Chester, Ohio.
