It was pure joy and a privilege to know Ruby, your dear mother and grandmother, for even a short time. We met Ruby last September when our mother entered Guardian Grove, and spent many hours together in the months that followed. Ruby joked with us almost nonstop, continually making us laugh with a witty line or surprise turn of phrase. She always expressed care and concern about us driving home in the weather, and she loved to discuss real estate, travel and her family. She is dearly missed. Her spirit that truly lit up a room, and our lives at a difficult time, will never be forgotten.
I lived by Ruby for a couple of years. (Early 2000’s) she was a very special neighbor.. she loved to help others on the block. I was thinking it seemed quiet around her house lately. I will miss her. I’m sure her pets will miss her dearly. Beautiful soul ❤️
Dear Aunt Ruby’s family . Although miles separate us, know that we are thinking of you as you mourn the passing of your mom .. We are so sorry for your loss.
Love Joanne MacIntosh Thomas and family ❤️

I loved chatting with Ruby when I worked at the MJ Public Library. She was always so kind and pleasant. My condolences to the family.

Our condolences to Ruby’s Family in regards to her passing. I got to know Ruby through the Early Bird Lions Club of Moose Jaw. Ruby was always available to volunteer for most all of our projects. She was a Gem. Cherish the memories and I am sure there are many.
Most sincerely,
Lloyd & Sandi Luhning
It was such a pleasure to know Ruby. She used to come quite often to MJ & district Seniors (Eaton’s) and it was like a huge rush of energy came through the door with her. She would crack us all up in seconds. What a fun lady. Just thinking of her makes me smile. She certainly left a big impression on people and a very positive one, at that. Everyone that met or knew Ruby never forgot her. I am so sorry for your loss and send you my sincere sympathies.
