Ruth attended Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic School in Winnipeg and Central High School of Commerce (Secretarial) in Toronto and her skills led her to a 46 year career in Federal and Municipal Government Service. Ruth was predeceased by her husband Marcel Larochelle (1990), her parents Joseph and Mary, brothers Daniel and Ernest Ponimets. Ruth was the last of her immediate family. Ruth leaves Anne Ponimets and four generations of dear cousins. Ruth was the family's strong and constant link between generations, sharing her love with all.
