She is survived by her devoted daughters Genny (Grant), Debbie (David) and Alison (Brian)
and her 4 grandchildren, Dylan (Mona), Julian, Andrea and Brenda.
She was predeceased by her loving husband, Ray and her 4 siblings.
Ruby was born in St. Paul, Alberta to Francophone parents from Montreal.
The family moved to Maillardville, B.C., where the 5 children attended a French Catholic school.
They soon forgot their French when at the age of 7, Ruby's single mother asked them
to only speak English at home.
At 16, Ruby met Ray and after a 7 year courtship they married in 1948 and began their family
and 55 years together. They travelled around the West Coast as a family,
and around the world in their retirement.
Ruby devoted her life to her family and emulated the qualities she instilled in her daughters: unconditional love and support for her family and compassion for others, especially those less fortunate.
Ruby's family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Inglewood Care Centre
in West Vancouver for their compassionate care for Ruby in her last years.
She will be remembered for her positive and joyful spirit and her generosity toward others.
She would say it was just as easy to be nice than to be mean.
If she was asked what lesson we can learn from her passing it is always to choose kindness.
