Obituary of Elizabeth Ribbink

Passed away peacefully on Friday, June 12, 2020 at Ruddy Shenkman Hospice at the age of 60. Loving daughter of the late Herman and Mildred Ribbink. Treasured wife of Jim Gamo. Cherished "sister" (sister-in-law) of Kathy Lamont (Gamo) and Karen Hamilton (Gamo). Adoring "auntie" to Adam, Devon, Brayden and Callen Lynch. Sister of Dan Ribbink (Fran). Remembered by nephews Phillip and Jordan Ribbink. Beth will also be remembered by her many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and dear friends. Special "cat" Mom to Savannah. The well being of family and friends was most important to Beth, never expecting anything in return. Her greatest joy was listening to music, supporting Jim's band and the time they spent together on the water and in the loving home they created. The family would like to thank Home Care Nurse Victoria, PSW Chantel, Barb from Hospice, Dr. Wheatley-Price, Dr. Andrew Douglas, Dr. Erika Tanner and the caring, compassionate nursing staff of the Ottawa General Hospital 5 East especially during the 2 lonely weeks of no visitors due to COVID 19. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date followng COVID 19. At Beth's request, as an expression of sympathy, donations to L.A.W.S. or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
