RUTLEDGE, William Carlton Rutledge

RUTLEDGE, William Carlton  –  November 1, 1946 – Shelburne, Ontario July 22, 2023 – Calgary, Alberta

In memory of William (Bill) Carlton Rutledge, who passed away in the loving setting of The Salvation Army Agapé Hospice, in Calgary, Alberta, and in the loving company of his niece, Laura and his sister, Carol.

Bill was born in Shelburne, Ontario, on November 1, 1946, to Marion Ruth (Stanley) and William Henry Rutledge.

Bill was a (highway) trailer mechanic by trade, but he worked many jobs in many places throughout North America, from a brickworks in Brampton to a mine in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, to installing railings in Southern California, to being a brakeman on the CN line out of Nakina in Northwestern Ontario.

He was of the mind that you found a place where you wanted to be and then found something to do there.

As a result, he spent portions of his life in Florida, Vancouver, Shelburne, and Toronto, as well as the other destinations noted, moving to Calgary one and a half years ago to be closer to his family.

Bill leaves to mourn his sister and brother-in-law, Carol Jane (Rutledge) and Don Mawdsley, and their children, Laura (Mawdsley) Millar and David Mawdsley of Calgary, Alberta, and Shannon (Mawdsley) Siedl of Vernon, British Columbia.

As Bill wished, there will be no service and his family plans to gather to toast him and celebrate his interesting life.
