With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Ruth (Ann) Myers. On April 28, 2024, Ann left us peacefully and surrounded by her loving family and friends. Born July 22, 1953, in Victoria, BC, Ann is survived by her adoring husband BOB, her Uncle Peter, her brothers Doug, Ron (Lorna), and Glen (Cara), her nephews and nieces Stacey (Marianne), Emma (Aaron), Ro (Lamor), Cam (Jenn), and Leah, her great nieces and nephews Ilya and Ronan. Her children Rebecca (Frank) and Neil (Sheena), and four grandchildren Jonah (Stephanie), Aiden, Amelia, and Madelyn. Her son and daughter-in-law Derek (Lindsay) and two grandchildren Lilah and Lucas, and daughter-in-law Charlotte. An extended family including her sister and brother-in-law Francis (Ian) and Duncan (Karen) and the McClelland clan, all who cherished her deeply. Ann was also blessed with a vast circle of friends and colleagues who treasured her and the long-lasting bonds she built with them over the years.
Ann lived an enriched life with a fulfilling career in healthcare administration, and at the age of 55 she joined her husband in retirement to enjoy the countless activities they loved to share together including travel, nurturing their garden, kayaking, attending the theatre, and boundless walks, hikes, and adventures in nature.
Ann’s bright and joyful personality shone, and she will be remembered for her warm and thoughtful ways toward all who were dear to her. She treasured her relationship with loved ones and her tender heart beamed through all she did. Ann was small and mighty, with a cheeky humor that brought instant joy to any interaction with her. Ann’s wisdom and warmth will be carried forward by all who were blessed to know and share a part of her. Although she is no longer where she was, we take comfort knowing she will always be where we are.
Thank you to the medical professionals at Victoria General Hospital who cared for her with compassion during her final days.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada are welcome.
