Ruth Vekeman, 63, of Lyons Brook, Nova Scotia passed away peacefully in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow on May 3, 2016.
The daughter of the late Ruth and Ronald Beaton, she was born in New Waterford, Cape Breton.
Ruth studied nursing at St. Martha’s in Antigonish and nursed in Halifax, and Quebec, spending most of her career at the Sutherland Harris Memorial Hospital in Pictou. She loved theatre and dancing and was a choreographer and actor in local productions.
Nana was happiest when she was feeding people or being silly with her grandchildren. Her sense of humour was infectious and she would do whatever it took to make the people she loved smile.
Her family would like to thank Dr. Farrell for his love and caring, Rhonda Langille for always being Mom’s “go to girl” and all the loving staff at the Palliative Care Unit of the Aberdeen.
She is survived by her husband, Eric; son, Josh (Michelle); daughters, Erika and Erin (Ian); grandchildren, Kennedy, Luc and Mathieu; and brothers, Cameron (Ada) and Ron (Joanne).
Candlelit Service will be held 6:00 PM Sunday, May 8 from the Pictou United Church, with reception to follow in the church hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pictou United Church.
