Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRUBY LILLIAN CHILDS November, 20 1929 - July 18, 2014 It is with deep sadness that our family announces the passing of our dear mother and grandmother after a lengthy stay at Seven Oaks Hospital with her family by her side. Remaining to forever cherish Ruby's memory are her three daughters, Terrie (Ian), Sandy (Cecil), Gloria (Allan); son Brian; as well as 13 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; sister Margaret McIness; as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Stan in 2001; son Dennis in 2011; grandson Shaun in 1999; and brothers George in 2009 and Ed in 2011. Mom always looked forward to spending time with her grandchildren. As we were growing up it was important to Mom and Dad to take us on vacations in their trailers and motorhomes; these were always great adventures. In their retirement years Mom and Dad still looked forward to the open road as well as spending time at the family cottage at Lee River. One of Mom's many passions were her flowerbeds and rock gardens. Later in life Mom worked alongside Dad in their family businesses. In keeping with Mom's wishes there will be no formal Funeral Service. The family would like to give a special thank-you to all of Mom's caregivers at Seven Oaks 4th floor units, her occupational therapists, physiotherapists, as well to the social worker, Steven, for all his guidance and compassion. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Ruby's memory to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada or Canadian Cancer Society of Manitoba. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204-897-4665, in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, still very dear. Rest in peace Mom

Sandy, I am sorry for your loss. As I can write a book about this subject as I am far too familiar with this kind of loss. Please extend my condolences to the rest of the family as well. Evelyn Smirnos (Watson) - Posted by: Evelyn Smirnos (Friend of daughter's) on: Jul 30, 2014

I will always remember my aunt beside my uncle enjoying family trips and events. She was a great lady and it was a pleasure to call her my Aunt. I hope my cousins find each other for support and remember it's the family that they would want to be together and join each other to reflect the past and make plans for the future. - Posted by: Ken Childs (Nephew) on: Jul 29, 2014
