Ruth attended Carr Hill School and completed her high school in Wolseley. After graduation she moved to Regina and worked as an office assistant at Coca Cola. This is where she met the love of her life and married Don in 1958. In 1962 they moved to her family farm in the Ellisboro district until they moved to Wolseley in 1996. She was an active member of St. James United Church. Ruth truly enjoyed the farm, the animals, the harvest and the outdoor life. She also enjoyed visiting family, friends and neighbours. Their camping trips with neighbours and friends or visiting mom’s high school group were always a lot of laughs. Our families would like to thank the staff of Hayes Haven and Lakeside Nursing Home for their excellent care during Ruth’s stay.
