[2] In Newlyn, Simpson lodged with her sister Rose and together they led a full social life.
[5] Subsequently, the family lived in different locations throughout Cornwall, including at Carbis Bay, Lamorna and at St Ives.
[1] It appears Ruth Simpson did little, if any, painting after returning from London and she died at Redruth in 1964 and is buried in the cemetery at Paul.

[1][7] Works by Simpson were included in the exhibition Painting in Newlyn 1880–1930 held at the Barbican Centre during 1985.
