She passed away peacefully with family by her side on January 1st, 2026, at The Summit in Quadra Village in Victoria, BC. Ruby was beloved by her partner, Paul Love, for 20 years, and until recently, Paul and Ruby lived in Oak Bay, BC. Ruby was the proud mother of three children: Lauriston (Arlene), Wanda (Darren), and Carla (Douglas). Grandmother of six and great-grandmother of seven.
Celebrating the life of an extraordinary woman, our mom, is not difficult. She lived a full life, and though our hearts are heavy with loss, they are also full of gratitude for the gift of her presence in our lives.
Our mom was a force of love, kindness, and resilience. She taught all of us the meaning of compassion, patience, and the importance of family. Her faith was silently strong, and she gave of her time freely to the church in every way possible.
For the many that had the pleasure of spending time in her beautiful home, we were surrounded by great smells, a bounty of wonderful food, always music, and a welcoming spirit.
Her life was a testament to grace. She faced hardships with courage and embraced happiness with a full heart. The lessons she passed on whether about love, perseverance, or endless recipes will stay with us forever.
Mom, you were our heart. Thank you for a lifetime of love. We will miss you dearly, but we know your light will continue to guide us.
