Obituary for
Ruth McKenzie
Our beloved Mom, Nan/Grandma , and Great Grandma died peacefully with love and family surrounding her on Thursday, August 30, 2018 at the age of 89.
She was born, April 21, 1929 in Rosenfeld, MB to Fredrick and Helena Pokrant. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Don in 2011, granddaughter Märit in 2013, and brother Ed (Irene) and sister Vi (and Henry). She will be dearly missed by her children Sandy (Mark), Bruce (Susan), Dean (Melanie) and Lyle (Lori), thirteen grandchildren and ten great grandchildren that were her joy and delight, as well as her brothers, Lawrence (Gladys), Elmer (Verna) and many other family and friends.
Ruth came to Winnipeg as a young woman to pursue a career, but soon became a devoted spouse, mother and homemaker, sacrificing much for the love of her family. She was a person of deep commitment and faith and gave us gifts of thoughtfulness, caring and laughter for which we are all very grateful. We commend her to God trusting that she now enjoys everlasting peace and joy.
A funeral to honour Ruth will be held on Thursday September 6th, 11.00am at Grace Lutheran Church, 211 Kimberly Ave.
In place of flowers, donations may be made to Grace Lutheran Church and/or CLWR (Canadian Lutheran World Relief).
Our thanks to the staff of Concordia Hospital, Concordia Personal Care Home and Concordia Village for their care and support.
