Ruth found great joy in the simple and meaningful things in life. She loved gardening, canning, baking, and playing games. One of her treasured routines was her Thursday night game night with her siblings, held at her home for the last nine years at Kamloops Seniors Village. These evenings brought her much laughter, companionship and happiness.
Ruth will be remembered for her deep and unwavering faith, her loving heart and the warm welcoming home she created for her family and friends. Her life was a quiet testimony of devotion, kindness and trust in the Lord.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village for their amazing care and compassion shown to Ruth in her final years.
A memorial service to celebrate Ruth’s life will be held in the Ministry Centre at Kamloops Alliance Church on Saturday, August 8th at 11:00 am.

Ruth was a regular attendee at our Kamloops Seniors Village chapel services. I saw she was in the hospital and I stopped to visit her. We had a lovely time as she told me about her life and her family who she obviously loves so much. When I went to read scripture to her, she quoted it alongside me. What a beautiful gentle soul! We will miss her.

Ruth became a cherished landlady for our daughter, Nicole,
which gave us peace of mind when she moved from Ontario
in November, 2015. We had the pleasure of adding Skip Bo
to our game list which was introduced to us by Ruth.
She will always be in our fond memories of a dear Christian
lady.
Ruth was well known to all of us at church in kAMLOOPS and my sister married Bruce Moffatt.
She led an interesting life and could tell many stories that would be of interest to everyone who knew her and Roy. Her roses were so beau tiful ! She will be missed for sure~She and Roy were friends with my husband Garry as well for 60 yrs.
