LESSARD, Mary Ruby Lessard April 7, 1933 - October 31, 2011. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mary Ruby Lessard on October 31, 2011 in the Battlefords Union Hospital.

She was predeceased by her parents, John and Mary Neufeld; brothers: Ruben, Gordon, Allan Neufeld; sisters: Mildred Neufeld and Lila Muc. Mary said to me one time "Don't fuss over me." Well I am going to fuss over you just a little bit. Mary took pride in her passion for cross-stitching, embroidering as well as her quilting, her children will be kept warm with each having a denim quilt made by her. Mary enjoyed her time at the Do- Drop -In playing scrabble, visiting with friends and listening to the old time tunes. The last piece that she had crossed-stitched will be placed in the BUH Festival of Trees this year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the medical staff in the ICU and 3rd floor for looking after Mary in her brief stay. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the donors choice or to the BUH Foundation (PO Box 1358, North Battleford, SK S9A 3L8). Online condolences may be left for the family at Arrangements were in care of Sallows & McDonald - Wilson & Zehner Funeral Home, (306) 445-2418 ____________________________________________________
