On Friday, March 29th, Ruby quietly passed into the presence of her Saviour after four months of declining health.
Ruby was born in Hepburn, Saskatchewan. She, her parents Henry & Annie and sister Verna moved to Abbotsford in 1945. Ruby was a member of Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church for many years, though she served at the newly planted Lake Errock church for several years. She supported and prayed for many missionaries. She was a caring auntie to her niece Debbie and nephew Tony. Ruby worked at Funks’ Super Market for 21 years. Later she was a volunteer at Hidden Treasures Thrift Store.
In 1991 she married Richard Engel and became part of his extended family which included his four children, Mark, Jill, Jane and Lisa. Richard passed away in 2008.
Ruby has many lifelong friends and caring neighbours who will miss her thoughtful presence in their lives.
A memorial service will be held in her honour with a luncheon to follow at Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church on Tuesday, April 9th at 1:30 pm.
