Ruth Ellen Milne, February 7, 1925 – April 27, 2011

We are sorry to let you know that our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother has left us peacefully, after achieving a lifetime of 86 years. She lived a simple life. Before she fell and broke her hip on April 1, she walked without a cane or walker, beat her daughter and son regularly at crib, and was happily living at Olive Devaud Residence. An obituary will be published at a later date.
