Ruby loved each and every one of her grandchildren "real brutal", showering them with love every chance she got. 

Ruby was known for her kind heart, contagious laugh and rarely found without a smile on her face. She was the definition of "shishtness". She held great hopes for the future of her community of Wikwemikong and stood ready to fight for whatever she thought was right.
Her family, many friends and supporters will always remember her inspiring example as a strong Anishinaabe' Kwe.

Family and friends will gather
at St. Ignatius Church, Buzwah
Visitation on Thursday, April 3rd, 2025 from 5pm.
