It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Ruth Ferguson, Curator of UCD Newman House. Ruth was a member of the Newman Centre Board and instrumental in maintaining the Centre's presence in the restored Newman House. She was an expert on all things related to St. John Henry and Newman House. She will be very badly missed. Our sincere condolences to her friends, family and colleagues. The UCD tribute to her life and work can be found here.
"Through her welcome and custodianship, visitors experienced Newman House’s own embracing atmosphere, and Ruth embodied the best of all the lives that have been lived there over the centuries. What a joy it was too to discover those centuries on one of her richly rewarding house tours, the depth and breadth of her knowledge delivered with an exuberance that swept you up in shared excitement and enjoyment."
