She leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories her children: Denise (Kaj) Hedin, Brian (May) Crocker, Vicki Crocker and daughter-in-law Heather Crocker. Also left to mourn are her dear grandchildren: Caroline Hedin, James Hedin, Alex (Ashley) Crocker, Alana Crocker (Josh Webb), Shawn Crocker and Paul Crocker and sisters: Cora Batstone, Annette Stafford and Edna Tilley. She was predeceased by her husband James, son Paul, parents Lemuel and Pearl Batstone, sister Marjorie Sharpe and brother Earl Batstone. She also left behind a large circle of relatives and friends. Ruby was the epitome of motherhood, always putting her family first and foremost. A kind, loving, gentle spirit who was strong, capable and wise. Ruby was a very artistic person who could put her hand to anything. She was a superb seamstress and quilter and in her later years, she developed a keen interest in oil painting. Throughout her life though, her main passion was the creation of beautiful gardens for all to admire.
