CHUTE, Ruby Cecilia On Saturday, May 28, 2011, Ruby Chute (nee Heagy), of Edmonton, AB, formerly of Calgary, went peacefully to be with her Lord and Saviour at the age of 84.

She was also a passionate participant in TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly) in Calgary. As a woman who loved the Lord with all her heart, she enjoyed spending time with her family, being involved in the local church, having people in her home, quilting, and travelling.
