WOLCOTT - Ruth V. Fortier age 87 of Wolcott, passed away peacefully on Thursday September 7, 2017 at the Meridian Health Care Center in Waterbury after an extended illness. She was the widow of the late Theodore Fortier.
Ruth was born September 20th 1929 in Waterbury CT, the daughter of the late Violet Gendron.
