She began her journey in this world on September 6, 1938 in Amherst, NS and passed away in Winnipeg, MB on November 9, 2012 surrounded by her loving family. Ruth will live forever in the hearts of her children: daughters, Kelly Hunter and Judy Recksiedler (Garth); sons, Rob Grant (Carol) and Chris Grant (Barbara); as well as nine grandchildren, Ryan Turner, Mark Turner (Ashley), Kayla Klos (Jason), Lindsay Grant (Sean), Haleigh Grant (Mike), Rebecca Grant, Emily and Jacob Grant, and Jillian Recksiedler; five great-grandchildren, Emma and Hannah, Benjamin and Zachary, and Mason. She also leaves to mourn her brother Bruce Cormier as well as her aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces and many close friends. She was predeceased by her parents Rudy and Pearl Cormier. The family would like to thank the staff at GH4 Health Sciences Centre for their compassion when taking care of our Mom. We also would like to thank all of our many friends and family members for their prayers and well wishes during this difficult time in our lives.

I am shocked at hearing about Ruthie passing away. She was one of the best people I have ever known. My sympathy goes out to the family. She will always have a special place in my heart, and also with my mother (Shirley) in Nova Scotia, and with my brother Kim (Fenwick, N.S.) She will be sadly missed by all. - Posted by: Brian Wheaton (Robert Mcdonald nephew) from saskatoon (2nd cousin) on: Nov 22, 2012

I had the pleasure of meeting and spending an afternoon with Ruth and Kelly last summer. We had a fantastic day of shopping, touring around and having ice cream. Ruth was a very warm, friendly and welcoming person. I'm sure you will miss her immensely. My condolences to all the family. - Posted by: Carole Boulet (Kelly's friend) on: Nov 15, 2012

Dear Grant Family Please accept my condolences for the loss of your mother. My mom and yours were great friends and that friendship lasted many years starting at CFB Rivers Manitoba. They had great times together and one memory that has been talked about for years is when they painted a white line down the center of the shared driveway on the base. They grabbed their coffee cups and sat on their respected sides to get a reaction from the neighbours and people driving by. They succeeded. They laughed about that for years. When your family moved away, my mom was so saddened to have lost the closeness of Ruth, but they always stayed in contact with their letter writing. If my own mother was with us today, she would be there to hug you all. Blessings to all of you. Marg Donohue Watson - Posted by: Marg Donohue Watson (Past neighbour and friend) on: Nov 15, 2012

Of all the people I have met while growing up, Ruth was always a special woman, I call a Proverbs 31 woman. Her life was evident of her love for family and friends. I will never forget Ruth and our Mom painting a white line down the driveway and then having coffee sitting on either side of the line (since all the neighbours were fighting they wanted to give them all something to talk about) and the line did turn heads. Going to miss communicating with Ruth. - Posted by: Charlotte Mills (Daughter of Peggy Donohue (friend of Ruth)) on: Nov 14, 2012
