MOLYNEUX, Ruth Anne
October 1, 1932 – September 21, 2014
Our beloved mother and grandmother passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2014 at the Drumheller Health Center surrounded by her affectionate family at the age of 81 years. Ruth is lovingly remembered by her husband, Jack; two children, Sharon (Paul), Doug (Traci); nine grandchildren, Brad, Cory, Matthew, Cassie, Janelle, Ashley, Meghan, Suzanne, Olivia; and eight great grandchildren. Mom was predeceased by her parents, William and Mary Harrison; brothers, Bill, Tom, and Albert; and sisters, Dorcus and Shelia. Mom played on the ladies softball team in Nacmine and was an avid lover of sports. She was also very involved in the Nacmine community. Mom was the secretary of the water Co-op, worked at bingo, and volunteered to help with many bridal showers at the community hall. In 1950 Ruth met the love of her life, Jack Molyneux through mutual friends, Fran Broom and Stella Anderson at a social event at the Elks Club. The two started their life together in Nacmine in 1957 and have been together 57 years. Ruth was a devoted wife to her husband and enjoyed her Sunday morning coffee visits with her family. Mom was a very proud Grandma, involved in her grandchildren’s lives through attending school events and joining in on family vacations to Fairmont. She also had her grandchildren over for many sleepovers and it was known that grandma would spoil them with all her treats! Grandma will also be remembered for her special Christmas dinners where the whole family would gather and fill the kitchen with fun and laughter. Family was mom’s joy in life and she will be greatly missed by her husband, children, and grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ruth’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, #200, 119 – 14 Street NW, Calgary, AB, T2N 1Z6.
A Memorial Service will be held at St. Magloire's Anglican Church, 176 - 2nd Street West, Drumheller, AB on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

So very sorry for your loss....Rest in Peace Dear friend.
Jack and family Sorry to hear of your loss Our thoughts are with you at this time
Just to let you know we are thinking of you with the passing of your Mom.
Our deepest sympathies and sincere sorrow, to the families of Ruth. We are so very sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a very beautiful lady, who will be remembered by so many. We all have our own memories, to cherish, from the fun days, working together in the Nacmine Hotel, to stories of long ago, when Alice Farmer and her young family, spent many great times together.
Fondly remembered. Such a nice lady. Clem and I would visit with her and uncle Jack whenever we came to Drumheller. So happy that she was a part of our family. Thoughts are with all of you at this time.
So sorry to hear of your mom's passing Sharon. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days. We would like to offer our prayers and condolences to you and your family.
