Ruby is survived by her devoted husband David, of 62 years; daughter Beverley Irvine, grandchildren Lorinda Stringfellow (Greg), Greg Irvine (Marina), Brendan Irvine (Amy) and great-grandchildren Lauren and Leven Ruby Stringfellow all from Langley, BC; daughter Cheryl Hunter of Winnipeg; son Bernard Hunter (Betty), granddaughters Shannon Hunter of Winnipeg and Kristi Kehler (Shelton) of Morden. She is also survived by her brother Jim Hunt (Merle) of Neepawa; sister Audrey Brown (Art) of Outlook, SK, and many nieces and nephews. Ruby was predeceased by her parents Sidney and Alice Hunt, brother Wilbert, and sister-in-law Jeanne. Ruby was born and raised in Birnie, MB. She moved to Winnipeg in her teen years and began attending Zion Apostolic Church where she met and married David. She worked at Eaton's and The Bay for many years. Her hands were always busy baking special treats, knitting, sewing and crocheting. Her family will enjoy these treasures for many years. Ruby loved helping out any way she could. Many hours were spent volunteering at Calvary Place, Red Rock Camp and any other church event that needed help. Mom's greatest joy came from nurturing her children and grandchildren. She blessed us all by the amount of time she spent praying for each one of us. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 3, 2013 with viewing prior to service from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. The family wishes to extend our heartfelt thanks to the awesome staff at Riverview Health Centre, 3C, who provided comfort and a loving touch to our mom over the past six weeks.

My deepest sympathy to you all. Your family has often been in my thoughts. The comments about Ruby's serving spirit are so true - she even taught me to crochet. I know you will all miss her greatly, but may the great memories you have and knowing the thoughts and prayers of many friends are with you, help you through this difficult time. - Posted by: Jo-Ann Fuchs (Peloski) (old friend) on: Nov 30, 2013
