Ruby was born on a farm near Frobisher. She lived her life in a variety of places, Northgate, Alameda, Oxbow, Frobisher, Weyburn and Estevan. She was definitely a rolling stone, long before Mick Jagger. She was a farm wife, a mother, a sister and a friend to many. She married Melvin Hutton on December 23, 1943. They farmed in the Souris Valley near Northgate for 25 years. Their time together was cut short with Mel's death in 1969, leaving her a widow at 48, with two children still at home. In the coming years she tried her hand at a few careers, all involving helping others. She was a caring, creative mother to five children of her own, grandmother to 17 of the smartest grandchildren ever, and great grandmother to 9 of the cutest ever. She was a foster mother, group home mother, care aide, cook, baker, and her last career was opening her home to those living with mental illness. Ruby lived her life to the very fullest. Each day had endless possibilities. She loved to have family and friends sit around her kitchen table for food and fun. She was very creative at sewing, cooking, baking and she loved gardening and "digging in the dirt". She loved her children and grandchildren so much and her friends were precious and many. Most of all Ruby loved her God with a giving spirit. She had faith to move mountains. She prayed and read her Bible daily. She is now walking and talking with Jesus, holding Mel's hand and meeting old friends in Heaven. May all who come behind us find us faithful.
