Ruby Therrien passed away on December 07, 2010. She was born in Hilton, MB and moved with her family at an early age to a homestead near Turtle River, MB where they farmed. She married Donat Joseph Therrien (Alfred Lucien) from Makinak MB in 1938. Ruby and Don moved to Brandon in the early 40s when Don was stationed in Shilo. They spent the major part of their working years in Brandon, later moving to Regina SK, Bassano and Calgary AB. They lived a short time in Edmonton after they retired and then moved to Kelowna where Don died in 1990. Ruby continued to live in Kelowna until 2007, when her health forced her to move closer to her family in Calgary.
