RUBY ANNE SMITH
September 3, 1935 - July 8, 2020
Remaining to forever cherish her memory are her daughters and sons-in-law, Kim (Ted) Swarts, Karen (Wade) Lymburner and Pam (Peter) Karppa; six adored grandchildren, Ryan and Austin Lymburner, Mitchell, Nicholas and Lauren Karppa and Tristan Swarts; her sister Shirley Rivers; brother Brian (Hazel) Taylor, brother-in-law Bob Craig, and many nephews and nieces. Ruby was predeceased by her husband Marshall, parents, Cecil and Audrey Taylor, sisters, Millie Robertson and Celia Craig, and brothers-in-law, Bob Robertson and David Rivers.
Ruby was born and grew up in Winnipeg. She started her career at Great West Life Assurance Company where she met her husband Marshall, who was the love of her life. They were married for 52 happy years. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother. Mom was also a wonderful cook, entertainer and decorator who created a beautiful home for her family. Ruby was an avid curler, badminton and tennis player at the Winnipeg Winter Club and spent many years golfing at St. Charles Country Club. She participated in several bridge groups and through these activities made many memories and dear life-long friends. Travelling with her family and friends over the years were special times.
The family wishes to acknowledge and thank all the doctors, nurses and care providers at Rosemary Heights Senior Village who cared for Ruby.

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. I have many wonderful memories spending time with Karen and her family while growing up on Athlone Drive. My parents also had many great times with Ruby and Marsh. Ruby always welcomed us into their home with open arms. I will never forget her contagious laugh! Keep all of your wonderful memories close to your hearts. - Posted by: Christine Minaker (Friend) on: Jul 20, 2020
