Ruby Cecilia Salmon was born December 12th, 1930 and passed away peacefully after a long battle with illness on June 8th, 2015 at Ponderosa Lodge.
Ruby will be remembered by her brother Vince (Helen) Tasa, her daughters Rhona (Neil) Maki, Raelene Hanson and Gail (Dave) Salmon-Sootheran, grandchildren Dennis and Karryann Maki, Adam and Mark Hanson, Jay (Curtis Davis) and Leah Sootheran, along with great-grandchildren Taylor King, Ariel Maki, Tony, Alyssa, Adrianne, Isabella Maki, Aiden, Alijah and Ava Hanson and Avery Davis great, great-grandchild Auria Smith, numerous nieces, nephews, as well as many friends and relatives.
She was predeceased by her husband Ron Salmon, her parents Ellen and John Tasa, her sister Ruth Doney and her grandson Terry Maki.
Ruby was raised in Lake Cowichan and moved to Port Alberni after she married Ron. They raised their three daughters there until 1967 when they moved to Kamloops where they spent the remaining years with their family.
Ruby was a stay at home Mom and was involved in many family gatherings. They had many friends who were always welcomed into their home. Ruby was a loving, soft spoken lady, her beautiful smile shone through with everyone she came in contact with. She was always willing to help out and especially loved her grandchildren whom she looked after in their younger years.
She loved doing crafts and did many beautiful cross stitch pictures, paintings, knitting and crocheting. In her later years she continued crocheting dish cloths which she gave away to everyone special that she loved. Scooter her dog spent many hours with her, especially after Ron's passing.
Mom will be greatly missed by all her family and friends who were blessed with having her in their lives.
Thanks to her neighbours Irene Maeda, Kathy Moore and Neil and Laurie Harasemchuk who were so thoughtful and caring in her last years that she was in her home.
We would like to thank the staff at Chartwell Renaissance and Ponderosa Lodge for their loving care of Mom in her last year.
