OLSON, Ruth Edna
August 5, 1935 - January 24, 2022
Ruth passed away suddenly in the early hours of Monday, January 24, 2022 at the age of 86 years, from a brain bleed due to metastatic breast cancer.
Ruth is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Tanice; son and daughter-in-law, Perry and Judy; grandchildren, Laura (Matthew) and Warren (Lisa); great-grandson, Ryker; and son-in-law, Scott Chisholm. Ruth was predeceased by Willis, her husband of 63 years; and daughter, Tammie.
Ruth was an incredible cook, baker, bread maker and made the best donuts! Ruth was also an avid quilter and belonged to two quilting groups the DeWinton Q-Bees and Chinook Country Quilters. We all have beautiful quilts she spent many hours hand-quilting with love, which are cherished heirlooms.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society at support.cancer.ca or the Calgary Humane Society at calgaryhumane.ca/donate.

Ruth was a very special lady who I had the pleasure of meeting. I loved driving her to Dewinton for our weekly quilt session. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. ~ Lynda Daniluk
I am a member of the Dewinton Q-Bees & spent many happy times with Ruth. She & I undertook an embroidery Barn quilt & shared tips & tricks. It was fun. Ruth will be sadly missed by many. ~ Rae Harris
