Ruth leaves to mourn her passing her beloved husband Don of 56 wonderful years spent growing a loving family and nurturing friendships. She will be deeply missed by her three daughters and their husbands, Rena (David) Greenwood, Laurel (Mike) Curry and Kathi (Derrick) Campbell. Her three granddaughters, Allison (Chris) Finch, Carolyn Greenwood, and Caitlin Campbell; and four grandsons, Matthew (Jacine) Greenwood, Andrew Campbell, Nicholas and William Curry will lovingly remember Gramma. She also leaves to mourn her passing her brother Stan (Hazel) Butterworth, and sister Doreen (Ray) Mikulik. Ruth will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her lifelong friend Jean Lancaster. She was predeceased by her brother Trooper Fred Butterworth, Fort Garry Horse (Second World War) and her parents, Doris and Fred Butterworth. Ruth was born in Winnipeg, MB and resided there all her life. She was an active and valued member of John Black Memorial United Church for over 45 years. Ruth had an active and engaged interest in life. She will be remembered for her sharp mind and love of words through reading, crosswords, crypto quotes and pencil puzzles. Ruth was a talented seamstress and made countless dresses for her daughters, including their wedding gowns. Ruth and Don enjoyed many active years of retirement and had a grand time travelling and visiting their girls. The family wishes to extend our sincerest thanks to the caring staff at St. Boniface Hospital MICU and 5E - you are all truly special people!
