Obituary for Ruth Flower
Peacefully, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s, it is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Ruth Flower, on January 27th, 2019 at Kin Place PCH, in Oakbank, MB, at the age of 88 years.
Ruth grew up in Stonewall, MB with her numerous brothers and sisters, lovingly raised single handedly by their mother Matilda (aka: Nanny) Gardner. She later moved to Winnipeg, where after marrying, she raised four children. She worked at various jobs throughout her life, and took many courses along the way. She enjoyed being active, staying healthy, reading, and most of all, playing with her grandkids. She loved adventures, being either on far away travels, or a simple trip to a local park. She also loved gardening and grew a mini paradise in her backyard, for all to enjoy.
A service will be held at 1:00 PM on Friday, February 8th, at MacKenzie Funeral Chapel, 433 Main Street, in Stonewall, MB.
A special thank you to Svetlana and the caring staff of Kin Place Personal Care Home. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2.
