Ruth Dearsley Obituary

Ruth Heather Dearsley (Gow)
June 20, 1967- July 3, 2023 Age 56

"Some people only walk this earth for a short time. Their departure reminds us that angels are watching over us. Ruth rejoined her heavenly family and gained her wings."
It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to our lovely mother, daughter, sister, nana, aunt and friend.
She passed away unexpectedly at Southeast Integrated Care Centre in Moosomin, SK.
She was born in St. James MB and grew up in Killarney where she attended high school. She spent time in Brandon MB, Oxbow SK and more recently Wawota SK. There, she was a CCA at the Deer View Lodge. She worked many jobs and had lots of hobbies. Ruth worked as an EMT in Oxbow and inspired her youngest daughter to follow in her footsteps. Ruth was kind to all, compassionate and extremely empathetic. She was a lover of nature, gardening and above all her family. Everything she did, she did with love.
Ruth was predeceased by her parents Hugh and Irene Gow. She will be remembered by her mother Judy (Bob) Lahoda, daughters; Kayla Kopacz and Chloe Dearsley, brothers and sisters; Neil (Jeannie) Gow, Ryan (Natalie) Lahoda, Mitch Lahoda, Wade Lahoda and Candace Lahoda, former spouse; Cory Dearsley, stepdaughter; Casey Dearsley and grandchildren; Bailee and Josh. She will also be dearly missed by all the friends she has made over the years.
While Ruth's family grieves her loss, they are choosing to remember her in a way that honors her spirit.
There will be no funeral service, a private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die .
