Ruby passed away peacefully at the age of 88 at the Ponoka hospital with loved ones by her side.
Ruby was born in Amisk, Alberta. The family, including her four brothers and two sisters, moved to High Prairie and then Quesnel where she graduated high school. She moved on to Vancouver and Vancouver Island, then to Edmonton and up north to Great Bear Lake where she met her husband, Gerald.
After many moves, they settled in Fort St.John where they raised their three children Dwayne, Heather and Heath. Ruby worked at the Mcleods store for many years and then worked at the Pink Mountain Hotel following that. Ruby loved gardening, reading books, watching movies and could often be seen jogging with her friend Judy every night. She also loved traveling, especially to Hawaii, which she visited on several occasions. She was a great cook. We raved about her pies and buttermilk pancakes.
Most of all, Ruby loved her family and especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her sisters Joyce and Alice and brothers James, Cap, and Glenn. She will be missed by her surviving brother, Clarence, her children and their spouses, Dwayne and Debbie Mackay, Heather and Carl Vallieres, and Heath and Maxine Mackay, her grandchildren and great grandchildren Hunter and Chelsea Mackay and their sons Presley, Niko, Bennet and Nathaniel, Hayden and Sarah Mackay and their daughters Emmy and Eva, Daniel Vallieres, Zoe Vallieres, Haille Mackay, Hudson Mackay and Karlyn Mackay.

Our thanks to the staff at the Ponoka Hospital for their help and kindness to Ruby and also to the staff and residents of Sunrise Village and Reid Manor for their help and friendship over the past few years
