Hendsbee, Ruby Marion – November

Cove.
Our dear Mother, saint of God, graduated to Heaven
peacefully, with loving family at her side on Sunday, October
31st , 2021in Parkstone Enhanced Care, Halifax.
She will surely be missed by all, especially by family. What
a testimony she was for Jesus Christ. Only in Eternity will we know
how many lives she had influenced for our Saviour.
Born in Phillips Harbor, she was a loving and devoted
daughter of the late Spurgeon and Tressie (Meeds) Hendsbee. She was a
loving and supportive wife of the late, Keith Hendsbee.
As a woman of faith, Ruby cherished the hours she spent with
the children during her time in the bus Ministry and teaching Sunday
School. She also was a gracious host. She always made sure no one left
her table with an empty stomach. Wherever you would meet her, she
would always stop to talk. From the time she was a
young girl, she loved to visit the elderly. She loved her
family and lived her life humbly.
Left to mourn are daughters, Elaine (Albert) Amirault and
Donna Lee (Gary) Falt; granddaughters, April (Raoul) Smith, Lindsay
(Chris) Grillet and Danielle Falt. She was “Gi
Gi” to four great-grandchildren. Also survived by
brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Pastor Bruce and Betty Hendsbee;
brother-in-law, Paul Fraser, cousins and many nieces and
nephews.
Besides her husband, Keith; she was predeceased by
sisters-in-law, Joyce Conrad, Judith Leite, Marion Hendsbee, Joanne
Hendsbee and brothers-in-law, Wayne Hendsbee and James
Conrad. Also predeceased by her niece, Charlene and nephews,
Bobby and Kevin.
We, the family, would like to express our heartfelt thanks to
the staff at Parkstone Enhanced Care for the excellent care and
friendship they extended to our mom.
