Ruby was a faithful member of Grace Mennonite Church, where she contributed gifts in many ways. She pieced numerous comforters for relief in her latter years. She gave generously and selflessly of her time to help her family, and many people were recipients of her gardening skills. Her wit and sense of humour will be missed by all. She was a remarkable cook and entertained many guests at her table. In her earlier years she cooked meals for the needy at the House of Friendship in Kitchener.
