Obituary of Ruby Joyce Feltham

In the presence of her husband, Ruby passed peacefully on October 28, 2024. Despite enduring nearly three years of tremendous suffering from pancreatic cancer, Ruby remained steadfast in her character, values, and strong faith, never allowing her illness to define her.

Ruby leaves behind her devoted husband of over 52 years, Charles; her beloved sons Jason (Liz) of Calgary, Anthony (Terri) of Edmonton, and David of Corner Brook; and her cherished grandchildren, Reuben John, Levi Charles, Joni Ray, Clara Blue, and Isaac Charles. Ruby is also survived by her loving siblings, Marie (Roy) Trickett, Don (Marie) Brinson, Elizabeth (Eric) Feltham, Marilyn (Melvin) Hindy, Lloyd (Karen) Brinson, and Lisa (Walter) Wicks, her sisters-in-law Shirley (Lloyd) Easton and Marilyn Feltham, her kind and caring nephew Robert Easton, along with many other dear nephews, nieces, cousins, friends, neighbours, and acquaintances.

Predeceased by her parents, Stephen and Ethel Brinson, and grandparents Richard and Tamar Hussey and John and Irene Powell; her parents in-law, Reuben and Millicent Feltham, her sister Irene Lee, brothers-in-law Reuben Feltham Jr., Sandy Feltham and James Lee. Ruby is now reunited with those who were before her.

A whiz at word games, puzzles, and TV trivia shows like Scrabble, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, Ruby’s quick intellect and wit will be missed by all who enjoyed those moments with her.

Her strength, integrity, and unwavering values, always, but particularly so throughout her illness, are lasting gifts she leaves to all who knew her. Ruby will be remembered too for her kindness, warmth, and respect for others. The love she so generously shared as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend continues to guide and inspire us. Though she is no longer with us, the beauty of her spirit remains, living on in the hearts of those who loved her.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 6 from the hours of 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. from Fillatre’s Funeral Home, 4 St. Mark’s Avenue. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, November 7 at 2:00 p.m. at Humber Valley United Church in Pasadena with Rev. Jocelyn Cook officiating. 

A donation may be made in Ruby’s memory to the Western Health Care Foundation.

A special thank you to the doctors, nurses and other health care persons who were part of Ruby’s life these past few years. You are very special people whose compassion and professionalism will not be forgotten.

“Forever in Our Hearts.”
