Ruth Alexandria Pearce Polnicky

Ruth went to be with her Lord and Saviour peacefully in the early morning hours of June 24, 2024.

Ruth was born in Windsor, Essex County, Ontario on May 13, 1941, to Vyvian Eileen Pearce (Sunderland) Brown and George William Thomas Brown.  She was raised and educated in Scarborough, ON until her marriage to Stanley Albert Polnicky in 1961.  Ruth and Stan then settled in Saskatoon, SK to raise their three children Roxanne, Laurie and Jason before making their final journey to Medicine Hat, AB for their retirement

Ruth was predeceased by her parents and loving husband, Stan. Those left to mourn her are her daughter, Roxanne (Doug) Andal and their children, Ashley (Chris) with their children, Charlie and Rhys; Zachary (Marley) with their child Zoe; her daughter, Laurie and her son, Jason (Joanie) Polnicky with his children, Jordan, Josh, Jasmine, Justin, with his children Raya and Hudson; Katie (Mike) with their children, Kade and Kenna; Daniel (Nicole) with their children, Grace, Liam and Sophie; brother, George (Line) with nephew Marc; brother Al (Laina) with niece Jessica. 

Ruth loved to be busy and some of the activities she enjoyed were baseball, bowling, swimming, fishing and golf.  In quieter times she spent many hours quilting and playing cards, such as Bridge and Canasta with her friends.  The days she spent attending Mavericks baseball and Tigers hockey games were some of her favourites. 

She was deeply passionate about her faith and was devoted to the fellowship of Heights Baptist Church.  No matter which activity she was doing, she was the happiest when surrounded by friends and family.

Ruth’s family would like to thank all the staff at MHR Hospital and especially St. Joseph’s Home and Carmel Hospice for the incredibly kind, compassionate and attentive care Ruth received during her illness and final days. 

A private family celebration of life and internment of Ruth’s ashes will be held at a later date.
