26 May 2014 - Ruth Toshiko Konno Laurie Funeral service

Gord Laurie's beloved wife, Ruth, passed away peacefully on May 2014 after a long battle with cancer.

Notice the little biography of Ruth on the left.

Today they held the funeral service for Ruth Laurie at the McKillop United Church. It was a lovely way to remember her life and a great tribute to her character and love of others. Ruth was a great mother, sister, grandmother and wife and shared her love with many! She was buried next to Uncle Gordie at the Mountain View Cemetery in Lethbridge.

We were happy to see so many family members from the Laurie and Konno families. We were also happy that Grandma and Aunti Pauline were able to come.
