Predeceased by her parents Joseph and Anna Marcotte, she leaves behind her loving husband Delmar, who was her greatest champion and caregiver in sickness and in health; son Aaron (Gabriella) and daughter Sarah (Julian); stepchildren Carman, Sherry (Glenn), Mark (Jennifer), Rodney (Marjolain), and her beloved grandchildren Jordan, Kelsey, Matt, Brett, Ben, Alexandre, Tristan, and Martin. She is also survived by her brothers Donald (Carolyn) and Norbert (Mavis) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ruth grew up in Torquay and graduated from the Grey Nuns Hospital in Regina in1968. She spent her career working as a Registered Nurse at the Pasqua Hospital operating room, a profession her daughter would proudly follow her in to. Before her Alzheimers diagnosis she loved nothing more than working in her yard in the summer and spending countless hours scrapbooking and collecting currency from all of the amazing travel adventures she was able to experience. She loved animals of all kinds and that never changed. She had such joy when any of her fur friends came to visit and would get the biggest smile on her face, no words were needed.
Ruth spent her last 3 years at Selo Gardens where she was welcomed in as if she was family and cared for with the utmost love and compassion. Her family, especially her husband and daughter, could not be more grateful for the love and care she received always but especially in her last days as she made the journey home.
