Ruth Ring
On Friday, August 14th, 2020 Ruth Ring passed on peacefully at Wolf Willow in Eastend, Saskatchewan in the presence of family. She was in her 97th year. Born in Saskatchewan to Jacob and Agnes Schultz, Ruth grew up with seven brothers and sisters: Mary, Helen, Henry, Amanda, Jake, Bill and Pete. She married her sweetheart, Herbert Ring in 1947 and they were happily married for 63 years. Ruth and Herb settled in Moose Jaw where they raised their family of four children.
Ruth was a hospitable woman who enjoyed people. She obtained her Color Coding Certification and enjoyed many years color coding and helping people find their wardrobe colors and style. She taught Sunday School for 50 years at West End Gospel Church which later became Sunningdale Community Church. She was a woman of strong faith and left a legacy of trusting in her faithful God who saw her through to the end.
Ruth was a source of love and strength to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by all, especially by her four children: Brian (Elke), Gail (John), Rafe (Rosa) and Teri; as well as her grandchildren: Nadja (Cardo), Josh (Julie), Jen (Mike), Bill (Jill), Dan (Melissa), and Jacob (Bea); and great-grandchildren: Logan, Eli, Bennett, Hana Leigh and Maya.
Ruth enjoyed her last four years in Eastend, Saskatchewan, near family and was loved by her church family there at Emmanuel Grace Church and Pastor Brad Robertson. A special thank you to the wonderful staff at Wolf Willow in Eastend who gave her such selfless, loving care to the very end. Heartfelt appreciation to the Wolf Willow residents whose friendship she enjoyed.
Those who knew and loved Ruth are thankful to God for the time they had with her.

Terry, and family, Our most sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. We remember the family living on Redland Ave. She was a lovely person and shall be missed by all who knew her. We always had a visit with her each time we ran into one another. Our thoughts are with you at the difficult time. Wayne and Anne Rose
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Ring. She use to be one of the “mall walkers” many years ago with my Mom (Violet Talock). They both also spent time at The Timothy Eaton Center for many years and use to always have a nice chat. Our deepest sympathy to all her family and friends on her passing. I am sure she will be missed by all who knew her. Take care.
To the Ring Family,
You are truly blessed to have had the love and care of mom who radiated the love and compassion of the Lord to those within her sphere of influence. Ruth’s vibrant faith in Jesus, spilled over into my life in 1962, as a boarder. We have delighted being in touch with each other over these many years, celebrating the goodness of the Lord in answered prayers.
Love,
Steve and Sandra Miners
Dear Brian, Gail, Raf and Teri,
It was hard to see the picture of your Mom show up in the obituaries. Although I feel sad at her passing, I must say that I have the most wonderful memories of your Mom.she always believed in me and made me want to reach higher. She was always encouraging. We had many happy visits in which we could have talked on and on but time stopped us.
Being “colour coded” by her changed my life. That knowledge made me a wiser shopper and simplified my life in so many ways.
She loved Jesus more than anyone else. She wanted everyone to know Him and experience the joy and peace that she knew they could have. Now she sits and gazes into His face! She fulfilled her destiny.
Dad and Mom (Harry and Lena Gerbrandt) also sent their condolences to all of you.
So sorry for your loss. She was such a loving inspiration to all she met. Tom and I have grown to love her like a second mother and we will miss her . But the memories we have of her love, kindness and all the laughs we shared will live with us forever. We are so blessed to have known your mom.
May the Lord hold you all close while you grieve .
Terri, my condolences on the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful lady & will be missed by all who knew her.
I hope that memories of the good times will comfort you now and in the future.
