DOUGLAS, RUBY LENA
1922-2010
Ruby Douglas passed away at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Grande Prairie, AB on June 19, 2010 surrounded with love by her children – Linda, Jim, Marlene, Jack and Eileen, and by her grand children – Doug, Stacey, Cara, Crista, Jamie, Derrick and David. Other family not able to be with her – Sean, Garrett and Joe as well as Jan, Elijah, Jessie, David, Cheryl, Clint, Berkley and Garth. She was 88 years old.

Waiting to greet her into loving arms on the other side were her beloved husband, Harvey “Doug” Douglas, adopted son Edward “Eddie” Stick, her parents John and Violet, sister Edna and brothers Henry and George.

Ruby was born in La Grande, Oregon on April 27, 1922 to John Williams and Violet (Duffield) Williams. Together with two sisters, Myrtle and Edna, and two brothers, Henry and George, the family moved to Cereal in southern Alberta and eventually to Bowden, Alberta where they farmed. In October 1942, Ruby married Doug Douglas. Ruby and Doug had a very special love during more than 50 years of life together.

In 1952, Ruby, with two children, Linda and James (“Jim”), followed Doug from Edmonton to Aishihik in the Yukon where their third child John (“Jack”) was born.

In 1955, they moved to Watson Lake, Yukon where they became friends with Rudy & Janet Couture, Roy & Ellen Eby, Helen & Jim Stuart and Doug & Pearl Bell. These friendships were renewed when they all eventually moved to Whitehorse, Yukon – those friendships survive to this day.

As a teenager, Eddie Stick became part of the Douglas family in Whitehorse where Ruby worked for the Federal Department of Communications. She was an avid curler and square dancer and she loved to play cards. Ruby and Doug were always the best dancers on the floor.

They remained in the Yukon until they both retired to Balfour, BC in 1979. They later moved to Lethbridge, AB to be closer to family. After her beloved Doug died in Lethbridge in 1997, Ruby moved to Grande Prairie to be closer to her children.

Ruby genuinely cared about everyone she met. She became a second Mom to many of her children’s friends who still call her Mom Douglas. Ruby made life-long friends wherever she went and always had a huge meal and kind words for everyone who graced her door.

Ruby is survived by her sister Myrtle as well as her children, grand children and great-grand children. We love you and we will miss you.

Ruby’s family would like to thank the 5 North nurses, especially Pam and Michelle, and Dr. Wang who took such wonderful care of our Mom.

A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
