Obituary
RUBY AMELIA OSMOND
December 30, 1939 – June 4, 2017

The greatest gift that is ever given to us as children is the love from our mother. Mom nurtures us, guides us, protects us and most of all loves us unconditionally. She's there for the good times and is always there to catch us when we fall, she has a special hand in making us who we are and for that we have many treasured memories that will get us through the days ahead. On Sunday June 4, 2017 we lost the most important woman in our lives, our mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and most of all friend Ruby Osmond (nee Carter) who lost her courageous battle with cancer at the age of 77 years.
