Ruth was born on a homestead in Mulvihill, MB
to Swedish immigrants, Walmer and Augusta Berg.
She and her three sisters grew up on the family farm surrounded by
music, love and laughter. Ruth was very
proud of her children and her greatest joy was to spend time with her
family. Having grown up in a musical
family, she could play many instruments and always enjoyed family gatherings with
singing and music. She enjoyed picnics
with her sisters and their families and was always a willing participant in a
game of cards or cribbage. Besides
having musical talent, Ruth also knitted beautiful sweaters and baby outfits
and was known for her delicious Swedish coffee bread. Ruth treasured her time with her
grandchildren and always managed to make each of them feel special.
A Celebration of Ruth’s Life will be held on
Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. at the Khartum Shrine Centre, 1155
Wilkes Avenue. A private family
interment will follow in Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens.
The family would like to thank the staff at
Poseidon Care Centre for their kind and compassionate care during her stay
there.
In lieu of flowers and in keeping with Ruth’s
love for animals, memorial donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane
Society, 54 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB R3T 0R3.
