Ruth was a nurse for many years working in the Maternity Ward of the Moose Jaw General Hospital and then later in the Emergency Ward of the Moose Jaw Union Hospital. On March 30, 1957, Ruth married George Durie. Ruth and George always enjoyed entertaining and visiting with all who came to the farm. When they weren’t away travelling, they could be found dancing most every evening.

Ruth was very active in the Eastview District and was a member of the Eastview Women’s Institute and was a member of Zion United Church in Moose Jaw. Ruth always enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a lady, who will always be remembered for her gentle ways.
