Ruth was born in Old Pinawa, April 9, 1922 where she lived until she married Everett Dobbin in 1942. In 1963 they were one of the pioneer families who moved to "New" Pinawa where she lived a full and happy life and was fortunate to spend most of her 97 years in the place she loved the most... Pinawa. Always active, enjoying her bridge groups, oil painting in the early years and busy outdoors gardening, golfing, fishing, curling and involvement in numerous volunteer groups. Ruth was predeceased by her husband Everett in 2011 and is lovingly remembered by her daughter Maureen (Garth), son Bruce, granddaughter Laura (Kevin), grandsons, Robert and Jude (Rachel), great-granddaughters, Emma, Alison and Haley and great-grandsons, Ronan and Caden. Many heartfelt thanks to the Ironwood Supportive Housing staff and the doctors and nursing staff at the Pinawa Hospital. Special thanks to Lorne and Paulette Schram and Rita Bell for being such special and caring friends and always being there when needed. Funeral services and reception will be held on Friday, April 5 at 2:00 p.m. at the Pinawa Alliance Church, 1 Bessborough Ave. (at Burrows Road), Pinawa. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Pinawa Foundation at endowmanitoba.ca or P.O. Box 100, Pinawa, MB R0E 1L0.

Came to know Ruth well when she helped Chuck Murphy and I when we were compiling a video of the history of (New) Pinawa and she took us around (Old) Pinawa, telling us all about how life was when she lived there. Fascinating stuff. She was so kind and willing in her contribution and we were immensely grateful. A long life well lived. Les. - Posted by: Les and Chris Crosthwaite (Friends) on: Mar 31, 2019

Maureen, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'll continue to pass along the wise words of your mom; you told me this after recounting her hosting friends for lunch. Someone asked why she bothered and she said, "I do it because I can and when I can't, I won't". This has become one of my sayings to live by and I think of her (and you and Garth) each time I say it to myself or others. Hugs, Linda - Posted by: Linda Penrose (friend of family) on: Mar 30, 2019
