She leaves behind a large and devoted family that spans children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, each now carrying a piece of her spirit.
Ruth-Anne remained surrounded by family until the very end, passing peacefully after facing cancer with courage and grit. She left on her own terms, with strength, grace, and determination.
Ruth-Anne now joins her husband, her children who passed before her, and her pets, reuniting with those she carried in her heart every day.
Her legacy isn’t just counted in generations, but by inside jokes, strong opinions, shared recipes, stubborn strength, and the unmistakable way she held everyone together.
