The Longreach Leader Friday 12 June 1953
OBITUARY MRS. R. L CUDDY
The death on 3rd June in Muttaburra removed one of the town’s old and well respected citizens, and one who was a lifelong resident. This was Mrs. Ruth Rebecca Cuddy, aged 60 years. The late Mrs. Cuddy was born in Muttaburra, and was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. Winter of Muttaburra. Her marriage to Mr. Richard Cuddy took place at Muttaburra in 1913. Deceased is survived by her husband, and her family of three sons and two daughters: Messrs. R. L. Cuddy (Rockhampton), F. W. Cuddy (Muttaburra), S. E. Cuddy (Portland Downs) Mrs. Nell Rogers (Longreach) and Mrs. Myrtle Joyce Little (Muttaburra). Also mourning her are her brothers, Messrs. W. A. Winter (Rockhampton), W. Winter (Rockhampton), R. Winter (Longreach), B. Winter (Brook wood) and sisters, Mrs. Alex Scott (Barcaldine), Mrs. R. Simpson (Townsville), Mrs. J. Stinson (Longreach) and Mrs. T. B. Bowden (Labba). A sister, Mrs. Alice Collins of Rockhampton, predeceased her. The late Mrs. Cuddy was a keen worker for the Muttaburra Branches of the Red Cross Society and Country Women’s Association, and of other organisations associated with her home town’s community effort. She had been in ill health for the last six years. Rev. Johnstone officiated at the funeral in the Muttaburra cemetery.
