Born September 19, 1945, at Calgary General Hospital. Ruth was the beloved second child and only daughter of Albert and Isabella Graham. Ruth’s deep compassion for others led her to study nursing at Calgary General Hospital, at the University of Saskatchewan Regina, and finally at York University. As a nurse, she gradually worked her way from Nelson BC, eastward with positions in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, eventually reaching Newfoundland. After many years of service, and many visits from her extended family, she returned to Alberta and made her home in Edmonton. There, she continued her nursing career and her lifelong commitment to helping others by volunteering as a literacy tutor to newcomers to Canada. Her kindness, wisdom, and generosity were a blessing to her family and community.
Ruth passed away peacefully on Monday, May 19, 2025. She is lovingly remembered by her brothers Fred, Jim, and Phil, their wives and by her many nephews, nieces, grand-nephews, and grand-nieces, all of whom she held very dear to her heart. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
A celebration of life service will be held Sunday June 1, 2025, at 2pm in Hainstock’s Funeral Home 9810 – 34 ave. NW Edmonton.
