She was predeceased in 1978 by her husband Ralph. She will be sadly missed by her children, Christine (John) Schaak, Ralph (Delores), Jim, Robert (Diane), Ellen (Richard) Henry, and Maureen (Al) Gerbrandt and her best friend and companion, Joey. She also leaves to cherish her memory 10 grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; two sisters and numerous friends. Ruth: (meaning) "One who is a friend to all", certainly lived up to her name. The door to Ruths home was always open, the coffee was on, and she was there to listen, comfort, or offer her advice. We will miss her unconditional love, her wit, and her wonderful sense of humour. Special thanks to the staff at the Victoria Hospital, the V.O.N. nurses, Dr. Donnelly and Dr. Mihalcioiu. Memorial service will be held on Wednesday, March 1 at 10:00 a.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart & Stroke Foundation in Ruths memory. We love you Mom!
