We Remember

STUERLE, Ruth

May 28, 1933 — August 12, 2019

Ruth went to be with her Lord and Savior on August 12, 2019 after a brief battle with cancer.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 65 years, Art Stuerle; daughter Marilyn (Jeff) Braun; grandchildren Steven (Ashley) Braun, and Amanda (Darrel) Murray; and great grandchildren Lucas, Emma, and Tessa. She will be fondly remembered and truly missed by her sisters Irma Elbert and Elsie (Arnold) Betcher, and brothers Eric (Helga) Lephotz and Walter (Kathy) Lepholtz; sister-in-law Edeltraut Stuerle and brother-in-law Hugo (Agnes) Stuerle; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was sadly predeceased by her parents Gustav and Christine Lepholtz; sisters Helen (Hank) Boldt and Tille (Albert) Bredin, brothers-in-law Charles Elbert and Adolf Stuerle, and Alice and Adolf Lenz.

Ruth was born in Minitonas, MB on May 28, 1933. She, her husband, Art, and daughter, Marilyn, moved to Kelowna, BC in 1962.

She was an amazing wife and mother, who loved life and filled everyday to the fullest, caring for all those around her. She touched many people with her listening ear, helping hands, and willingness to step in and care for friends and family in need. Her nickname “Mother Theresa” says it all.

Ruth loved travelling and golfing. She also loved to bake; it gave her such joy to share her baking with everyone around her. In her later years, she loved caring for her great grandchildren. Ruth was always most at peace in her beloved garden.

Special thanks for the Loving care she received from the staff at the Hospice House.
