"Aunty" Ruth Warren

Text Box:  Ruth Warren  October 10, 1924-October 15, 2015Born in Carnarvon Wales, Ruth finished school at 14 and went on to further office training before joining the ATS, the woman’s branch of the British Army.  After the war she worked as a civilian at Western Command in Chester, England where she was apparently proposed to many times.  She brought to Canada her high standards for grammar, spelling and administrative skills when she immigrated in 1955. Her working career was spent at The Travellers, Malkins and many years with the family business, Travel Insurance Coordinators, ending with processing high volumes of data at age 67. 

Ruth had a love for many of the arts and an eye for beautiful things.  She was often heard humming along with a tune, taking photos, speedily knitting or painting tigers.  Always fit and stylish, living in the moment, she always appreciated the support and love of family and friends, especially Rosa, Pete & her niece Ruth.

"Aunty", as many called her, will be remembered for her many unique expressions and particular interests, here are a few you may have heard:

When going out she always made sure she was looking "decent" and most important to have a "spot of lippo on".

When she approved - "Perfection!"," Exquisite"," Stupendous", “Stunning”  and,  "Delicious!"

When she disapproved - "absolutely dreadful", "deadly" or "putrid"

Text Box: A favorite translated from Sanskrit 
Listen to the Exaltation of the Dawn 
Listen to the exaltation of the dawn;
Look to this day for it is life
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie the verities
And realities of your existence,
The glory of action,
The bliss of growth,
And the splendour of beauty;
For yesterday is only a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today well-lived, makes
Every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the dawn.

Dogs or small children - "Little darlings or little sweetheart", "little chooky egg".  Sister Rosa was: - "Posey, Chook muk or Ducky"

Frustrated at work: "Gawd'struth or Struth!, steeuuuwpid people"

Ruth lived in West Vancouver for the last 15 years and was seen on her daily walks which she managed to do well into her 90th year.   Her memory faded, but her love and appreciation for the life she lived never did.  

"That's just it, isn't it?"
